Description

(22-24" tall x 36-48" wide) Set up a bench in front of 'Wisteria Lane' Butterfly Bush, grab a drink, and watch the pollinators descend! This gorgeous dwarf shrub takes the traditional panicle blossoms of Butterfly Bush (Buddleia) and quite literally turns them on their heads – giving it the appearance of a trained wisteria in the landscape. Visitors will take a double look and immediately want to know where you bought it! Unlike Wisteria, or many Butterfly Bushes, Buddleia davidii 'Wisteria Lane' PPAF won't get too big to handle, and can be used in beds or borders as a mid-sized accent. Gray-green foliage is covered in beautiful clusters of lilac-colored flowers in mid to late summer, and with regular deadheading it will continue to bloom through to autumn. 'Wisteria Lane' does not require rich soil, and can be planted in average soils in a sunny location for best flowering. Water regularly during the first year and 'Wisteria Lane' will be able to withstand periods of drought in subsequent years. It's sure to become a favorite for years to come! 

Planting & Care

Planting Instructions for Butterfly Bushes:

  1. Open the box immediately, protect from cold, and water each potted plant. Some of your butterfly bush plants may have new green growth and some may not. If you see no leaves, don't worry; this is normal. The roots in the pot are healthy and ready to grow in your garden.
  2. Plant as soon as you can. If your weather cooperates (above freezing), begin planting as soon as possible. If not, keep your butterfly bushes where they get some sun through a window, and keep them moist, not soggy.
  3. As you set out your potted butterfly bushes, dig to loosen the soil around and below the actual spot, and then set the rooted plant at the same level if was growing in the pot.
  4. Plant your butterfly bushes about 4-6' apart, depending on the variety.
    When you remove the plant from the pot, do not pull on the leaves or stems. Squeeze the pot a little and the roots and soil will slide out for you.Water well after planting, and continue to water at least every two weeks, depending on rainfall.
