Buddleia (English Butterfly Bush): neighbors! These three new cultivars were developed in England, and are just now making their way across the Atlantic. Roughly a third the size of other butterfly bush varieties, the English Butterfly Series plants are extra bushy and loaded with colorful flowers.
PURPLE EMPEROR has large mauve-purple flowers. All three varieties are prolific and fragrant bloomers that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds to the summer garden.
PEACOCK has rich pink blooms, and the largest blooms among the series.
ADONIS BLUE has deep blue flowers of good size and with a delightful fragrance.
The compact size of these new cultivars is perfect for smaller gardens and the mixed border. They can also be used as a container plant in milder climates. Unlike older varieties, these cultivars will not overwhelm the landscape, and never develop the weedy, unkempt habit so typical of butterfly bush. Now even gardeners with limited space can attract butterflies and hummingbirds to their garden with colorful buddleia. Deer-resistant. When grown in full sun this plant will grow 48-60 inches. It is hardy to -15 degrees. This is a great plant for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. It is extremely fragrant.
