This is the bush you should plant: Pink Butterfly in no time

🎀 Pink Butterfly Bush (Clerodendrum mastacanthum, Rotheca mastacantha) is a rare and exciting new addition to the plant world, originating from South Africa.

🎀It closely resembles the more common Blue Butterfly Bush (Clerodendrum ugandense) but stands out with its stunning pink flowers.

🎀The pink blooms are arranged in tighter panicles, giving the plant a more compact appearance.

🎀While the size of the flowers is a bit smaller than its blue counterpart, the vibrant color and unique charm make it a captivating choice for your garden. Its rarity and beautiful blossoms make the Pink Butterfly Bush a standout plant for rare plant collectors.

🎀 Very fast growing and vigorous bush! Perfect when you need a screen plant or a showy specimen quickly.

🎈 These two varieties of Clerodendrum must go together - Blue Butterfly and Pink Butterfly - perfect combination! The flowers and butterfly-like shape attract butterflies and other pollinators to the garden. So these plants are all about butterflies!
