Butterfly Bush - Magenta (Buddleia) Buzz Series

USDA Zone: 5-9

The fragrant, arching clusters of Butterfly Bush are irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies. Really a shrub, plants are best treated like perennials and pruned back hard each spring, to maintain a compact, bushy habit. The Buzz™ series is the first-ever patio Buddleia. This selection has wands of intense magenta flowers, over a mound of green leaves. Drought tolerant. Excellent for cutting. Removing faded flower heads will encourage plants to continue blooming. Drought and heat tolerant, once established.
