Butterfly Bush, Buddleia davidii, Shrub Seeds
Fast Growth, Showy Fragrant Flowers, Attracts Butterflies and Hummingbirds, Deer Resistant, Cold, Heat and Drought Tolerant
Butterfly Bush is a fast growing, deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub that grows 5 to 10 feet tall and 4 to 8 feet wide with a weeping form. Leaves are opposite, 6 to 10 inches, lance-shaped gray-green on long arching stems. Tiny flowers are born in long, 8 to 18 inch, cone-shaped clusters that droop in a profusion of color and stay abuzz with winged, nectar-feeding insects from late spring until the first frost in Fall. The flowers are sweetly fragrant and attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Flower colors may be purple, white, pink or red and they usually have an orange throat in the center.
Butterfly Bush likes well drained, average soil. They thrive in fairly dry conditions once established and it is usually resistant to deer.
Zone: 5 to 8. Butterfly bush will die to the ground in winter in zones 5 and 6 but it comes back in spring.
Growth Rate: Fast
Plant Type: Deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub
Family: Loganiaceae
Native Range: Northwestern China and Japan
Height: 5 to 10 feet
Spread: 4 to 8 feet
Shape: Arching Branches (Weeping)
Bloom Time: Early to late summer
Bloom Color: Purple, white, pink or red
Sun: Full Sun
Fall Color: None
Drought Tolerance: High, once established.
Water: Average to dry
Maintenance: Low
Site Requirements /Soil Tolerances: Average, well drained soil. Will tolerate loamy soil or dry Soil.
Culture: Butterfly Bush care would include following a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Cut the plant back hard (down to 10 inches) in early spring. The Butterfly Bush flowers on new growth and will have more blooms and larger blooms when cut back. Some gardeners also do a light shearing in the summer to keep the blooms coming in the fall.
Uses: Specimen flowering shrub that doubles as a butterfly/hummingbird attractant, often found in group plantings in island beds, at foundations or at borders.
