Butterfly Bush are for all season enjoyment.
With a name like butterfly bush, you might expect a plant to be attractive to butterflies. In fact, it’s more than attractive; it’s a magnet
for all the butterflies who pass through your garden seeking nectar. You’ll be happier with Buddleia if you accept its growth habit, which
is not neat and tidy. Its narrow branches support lilac-like clusters of blossoms a foot or two in length, with side branches and blossoms.
After a rainfall, the flower-laden branches of some species can droop all over your flower bed. Many butterfly gardeners plan their
garden around Buddleia (pronounced BUD-lee-ah), a genus that includes over 100 species and cultivars. Also called summer lilac, the
medium- to large-sized shrubs can anchor a perennial bed or form a hedge. Butterflies and bees will flock to the honey-scented blossoms,
whose dilute nectar is sweetest in midday sun. Near a path or patio, the shrub provides delightful fragrance for you, too. Most varieties
have branches that will die back to the crown every winter. Just prune the dead branches down to living wood every spring
