Blue Butterfly Bush - Clerodendrum myricoides 'Ugandense' - Live Tropical Plant - Unusual Shaped Flower - Emerald's - Starter Size - 4 Inch Pot
🦋 A fast-growing semi-tropical perennial with a loose, sprawling growth habit. The Blue Butterfly Bush is an excellent choice for adding a unique and unusual element to a tropical garden, whether as a flowering hedge, a background in a perennial bed, or as a large outdoor potted plant.
✨This plant blooms in panicles of uniquely shaped blue flowers that have a striking resemblance to butterflies. It takes a few seasons to mature and reach its full blooming potential, but is well worth the wait for its showy, eye-catching blooms that are sure to be a conversation piece in any garden.
🤗 Care: Easy to grow and quick to establish, this plant thrives in a permanent location with 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily. Plant in fertile, well-draining soil and maintain consistent moisture. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and control size.
🏠 Indoor Growing: This species is not well-suited for indoor growing and can be difficult to successfully overwinter due to its need for high light, warm temperatures with a day/night differential, and high humidity. It is best enjoyed as a seasonal container plant and brought indoors only for the briefest time necessary to protect it from frost or freezing.
🌡Climate: A semi-tropical perennial that is recommended for USDA Hardiness Zones 8B, 9, 10, and 11. In Zone 8B, it should be planted early in the season and protected from cold until very well established. We recommend protecting from frost and freezing in all zones for the best appearance and longevity.
