Description
Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) is a deciduous flowering shrub prized for its long summer bloom, fragrant flowers, and ability to attract butterflies and pollinators. It typically develops a rounded, arching habit with arching branches and narrow lance-shaped green leaves that drop in winter.
Flower colors vary by cultivar, including purple, lavender, pink, white, and red, often producing large, dense panicles of blooms from summer through early fall. Butterfly Bush is adaptable to a range of soils, prefers full sun, and requires moderate watering until established. Deadheading spent flowers encourages rebloom and helps maintain a neat, compact shape. Pruning in late winter or early spring promotes healthy growth and vibrant flowering for the next season.
