Multicolored butterfly bush?
 

My landscape guy just planted a butterfly bush in my yard that supposedly
blooms purple, white and yellow. I've never actually seen one and would like
to have an idea of what it will look like in full bloom, but the only pics I
can find online of are single-colored bushes (mostly purple and pink). Can
anyone point me to a Web site that might have a photo of the multicolored
variety? Thanks in advance.

I have seen advertisements for such a thing but be warned that
Butterfly Bush can be very invasive. It is best to yank it out
before your whole neighborhood is covered.

You got that right! Been there, yanked out. If you do take
the leap, prune ruthlessly.

A Remarkable coincidence!
This year, both Groundhog Day and the
State of the Union Address fell on the same day.
It was an ironic juxtaposition:
One involved a meaningless ritual in
which we looked to a creature of little
intelligence for prognostication.
The other involved a groundhog.

I don't think this is a variety, but 3 different varieties of butterfly bush
which have been grafted together. They must graft quite low on the bush
though - because butterfly bush often dies back to 1 foot or so in hard
winters.
