Joseph's Take
Best part about Butterfly Bushes to me is visiting the farm when they are in full bloom. Its like visiting a butterfly zoo or something. If you like butterflies, these are magical. Since Butterfly Bushes are decidious, I prefer to plant them along with with evergreen plants as a backdrop. Some good suggestions are in the "goes well with" section below.
