Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush — Buddleia 'Miss Ruby'

Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush (Buddleia 'Miss Ruby') is one of the most floriferous and eye-catching butterfly bushes available — a miniature, well-branching shrub that produces a continuous, non-stop parade of fragrant reddish-pink flower spikes from summer all the way to frost. The rich, jewel-toned reddish-pink blooms are exceptionally vibrant compared to typical pink butterfly bushes, and they are an irresistible magnet for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators throughout the season. The dense, mounding habit with willowy grey-green leaves is tidy and well-behaved, fitting beautifully into borders, wildlife gardens, rock gardens, and containers. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued bloom right up until frost. Thrives in full sun with well-drained soils. Hardy to Zone 5.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Intolerant of wet soils. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous bloom. Watch for spider mites and nematodes.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Wildlife Gardens, Rock Gardens, Foundation Plantings, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Garden Sage, Daylily, Verbena
