About This Plant
Sun/part shade; semi-evergreen, depending on winter weather. Butterfly bush’s big flower cones are sweetly fragrant, wafting on arching branches during warm weather.
It’s fairly drought-tolerant once established. For a native variety, see woolly butterfly bush (Buddleja marrubifolia).
Maintenance
Prolong blooming by pinching off spent flowers; since buddleia blooms on new wood, many gardeners cut it back to the base every winter.
