Key pattern

Opposite leaves, often felted with fine hairs on the underside, on shrubs; small, fragrant, tubular flowers pack densely into cone-shaped or globular clusters that are magnets for butterflies.

The dense, nectar-rich flower clusters are so consistently attractive to butterflies across the genus that the plant's common name, butterfly bush, describes it better than its scientific one.
