Care

Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Remove spent blooms for a tidy appearance. May die to the ground in colder zones, regrowing from the roots in spring. Elsewhere, prune in late fall or early spring. Feed in spring.

About Buddleia

Buddleia (or buddleja) are flowering shrubs that produce colorful flowers in late summer and fall. Their distinctive blossoms are displayed in long panicles at the end of the branches. Commonly known as butterfly bush, the flowers have a honey-like fragrance and are rich in nectar. This makes them highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, moths, bees, and other beneficial insects.

Care and Planting

Sun and Shade: Buddleia should be planted in full sun. This means an area in your yard that receives at least 8 hours of bright light per day. In southern areas, some morning or afternoon shade is fine as long as the plants get at least 6 hours of sun.

Soil Conditions: Like many plants, the roots of buddleia will not tolerate wet soil – especially during the winter months. Make sure to choose a planting location where the soil is very well drained.

Hardiness: In zone 6, the plants may die back to the ground most winters but will usually grow back quickly and flower on schedule.
