Description

Dark and dreamy, Buzz® Midnight Butterfly Bush turns any corner of your garden into a pollinator paradise. Towering spires of rich purple flowers rise from neat mounds of foliage, offering a continuous display from midsummer until frost.

Despite its dramatic flair, this compact cultivar fits beautifully into smaller spaces—reaching 3 to 5 feet tall and about 3 feet wide. It’s a magnet for butterflies and pollinators, and provides extended bloom time with minimal maintenance.

Drought-tolerant, rabbit and deer-resistant, this easygoing shrub performs reliably each season. Plant it in full sun and watch it work its magic.

The Buzz® Buddleia series were developed to be compact, sterile, and non-invasive, but retain the big blooming impact of their larger cousins.

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.
