Butterfly bushes and hydrangeas make a powerful duo with their big, bodacious blooms and care-free nature! Come summer, both shrubs are bursting with hundreds of blooms. The white flowers from Incrediball® Smooth Hydrangea add a refreshing contrast to the jewel-tone purple blooms of Pugster Periwinkle® Butterfly Bush. But the show doesn’t stop there! Flowers of Incrediball® take on chartreuse-green tones they age, creating an even more colorful display come fall.

The best part? Growing both plants is nearly foolproof. They are both reliable and easy to grow, which means you can enjoy the display summer to frost, year after year, all without deadheading midseason. You can even keep the spent flowers for winter interest, too! Prune the hydrangeas and clean up the butterfly bushes in the spring, then you’ll be ready for another show. We think they look best together when planted as a hedge (seen here), but wherever you plant them, you can’t go wrong.
