Its lustrous dark green leaves are beautiful throughout the seasons. Mature size is 6 to 10 feet high and 1 1/2 to 2 feet wide.

Blue Bunny™ produces a copious number of charming blue-and-white lacecap flowers from late summer until frost, and will reliably do so year after year. Even the elegant, rounded buds are lovely. ‘Blue Bunny’ is also sought-after because of its unusual fuzzy leaves, which add texture and interest to the planting area.
