Brings Butterflies in Droves
Alluring nectar-rich, honey-scented flowers draw butterflies in droves. Large 8” trusses are comprised of hundreds of enchanting deep royal-purple florets each dotted with a sparkling orange eye. Slightly smaller-statured than classics with arching gray-green foliage allows for placement in space-challenged gardens. Buddleia Midnight, from the Buzz™ Series, allows for placement in gardens with less real estate. Smaller, at about 2/3rd the size of classic varieties but mighty, this compact shrub still flaunts full-sized flowers. Glorious summer color on fast-growing plants, Butterfly Bushes are quite drought tolerant once established in the landscape.

Buddleia General Information

Buddleia are fragrant, long-blooming, attractive to beneficial pollinators and also quite deer resistant. This Buddleia is restricted from Oregon and Washington. Buddleias are shipped during our spring shipping season only. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Buddleia Plant Care

Very late to break dormancy in spring. May die back to ground in northern climates. Blooms on new wood. Heavy pruning is not needed, but may be trimmed in spring after new growth emerges, if desired. Grow in full sun with well-drained soil.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
