Have always wanted a Black Night Butterfly bush in my garden. Kim and I have also talked about having this beautiful bush in our gardens. Finally got one and it is blooming! No, the blooms are not black. But like the “black” tulips I have, this flower is a dark purple. This photo was taken in direct sunlight, making it a little lighter than normal. As the sun goes down I will take another one to show you the difference.
This bush is a fast growing shrub that works well as a foundation shrub, an accent plant or as a background in borders. I am so excited about this plant and it bloomed the first year I planted it! It is doing great with the other white butterfly bush beside it in Dustin’s garden.
The photo below was taken ten days ago. You can see the blooms start out very dark.

Thanks for sharing, dear Carol! I have never seen bushes with such a unique shape before
Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful bloom. I love it, and I have seen this type before.
Thank you so much, I am loving it and waiting on the butterflies.
It is a very pretty addition to your garden.
Thank you so much, I am loving the blooms.
I was just wondering if yours was blooming! Yes!! They are so pretty, mine has a bunch on it. Hard to shoot though.. You did wonderfully on both. 🙂
Yes and it was planted in April. I cannot believe it! The wind was blowing and the sun was out but I had to try and get a photo. Cannot wait for the butterflies. 🙂
It’s beautiful!
But I’m quite sure I’ve not seen this one before…
Thank you so much, I am loving it. I have never had one before this year.
The flower of incredible beauty, thank you very much for this joy!!!
Thank you! I have wanted this one for awhile now.
honestly I have seen this once before (without blooms) that you shared. But I have never seen this in person.
I don’t think I have posted this one before, just got it planted in April. Maybe you are thinking of my white butterfly bush…

You are welcome. Keep sharing these wonderful flowers on this site.

Thank you so much, I am loving the blooms.
wow ! stunning. I don’t think we have these here. I would like to have one.
Thank you so much, I am loving it. I wish you did have them.
strange name. not a lot of butterflies at night
Yeah I know but I always paired it with the color. Black – Night.
sure, and it works in that context…
It must be a wonderful bush. I have not seen him yet.
I absolutely am loving this one. Planted it in April and it is blooming in June!
Another amazing flower collection. It’s so beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Sharon. I am so very excited about this one. Just planted it in April this year!
I have something that colour but not the same shape, very pretty flower.
Thanks, I am very proud of this one.
Seems very slow on the site again today. 🙁
The name of this plant sounds so nice. Having such a name, it can be only beautiful.
I have to agree with you. It is simply gorgeous. The hummingbirds have found it already! Butterflies will be next.
Whoa Carol don’t jump over the moon (as you mentionned in your reply to Glower4). We do not want to lose you. I have to admit, I have never heard or even seen this type of bush but the color is absolutely radiant. It is a very pretty addition to your garden.
HA! I really feel like I could when i see this bloom. And there are others coming along as well. It doesn’t take much to get me excited. Thanks, I am so happy with it.
… funny thing I forgot to add is I just planted this in April!
I’m not sure I just feel like I’m seeing this wonderful flower for the first time
First time in my garden. They are gorgeous blooms.
And it was only planted in April of this year. Blooms already.
Oh goodness, I love that plant. I must get one for my garden too.
Yes, I have wanted one for awhile and so excited it is already blooming.
… Just planted this bush in April of this year and it is blooming.

Thank you very much!

Thank you, I am over the moon to have this in my garden.
