Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Lavender™ Butterfly Bush — Buddleia davidii 'BotEx 004'

Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Lavender™ Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii 'BotEx 004') is a standout compact butterfly bush that delivers an extraordinary, season-long performance of fragrant blooms without the sprawling size of traditional butterfly bushes — a freely flowering compact deciduous shrub with a tidy, naturally rounded habit and dense rich green foliage, producing an abundant succession of cone-shaped panicles packed with sweetly fragrant lavender flowers from late spring continuously through fall in an almost uninterrupted bloom display that butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees find irresistible. The compact 2–3’ size makes Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Lavender™ ideal for smaller gardens, borders, foundation plantings, and containers where a manageable, lower-maintenance butterfly bush is needed. Excellent for wildlife and pollinator gardens. Best performance in a sunny, well-drained location — intolerant of wet or poorly drained soils. Hardy to Zone 5.

MAINTENANCE NEEDS: Low Maintenance. Intolerant of wet soils — ensure excellent drainage. Watch for spider mites and nematodes.
LANDSCAPE USES: Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Wildlife Gardens, Rock Gardens, Foundation Plantings, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS: Russian Sage, Bluebeard, Aster
