If your favorite jeans were a plant, they might just be ‘Nanho Blue’ butterfly bush – not just because the powder-blue blooms and silvery foliage bring to mind a well-worn pair, but because it’s also an old favorite. In fact, this classic has graced gardens for nearly 40 years! This is a big, full-sized plant that blooms best and longest if deadheaded, though this isn’t strictly necessary.
