Growing into a multi-stemmed shrubby plant 4 to 6 feet tall, it features slender willow-like leaves along narrow upright stems. In midsummer, small droopings of scented cream-white starry flowers appear, followed by eye-catching, inflated, translucent soft-spined lime-green seed globes. A primary larval food source for Monarch butterflies, Cottonbush serves as a functional host plant, cut stem visual feature, or conversation piece in sun-drenched garden spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imported","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47977047916693,"sku":"GS-6694-SWA-DT","price":2.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/4222\/8885\/files\/cuttonbush.jpg?v=1789115498","url":"https:\/\/grandseeds.com\/products\/swan-plant-cottonbush-seeds","provider":"Grand Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
