Buddleia Davidii Maripose Blue
A sure sign of a healthy garden is when gaggles of flittering butterflies can be seen among the flowers, shrubs and plants. Keep pollinators interested in your landscape by growing plants just for them, like our sensational butterfly bushes! Covered in bright, bold panicles made up of dainty blue florets that are beautifully scented with a delicate perfume, perfect for luring butterflies (and bees and hummingbirds) to your property. Easy to grow and maintain, butterfly bushes are more than just a pretty plant—they're pollinator powerhouses that help create a healthy garden!
In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this plant will often die to the ground in winter and therefore is often grown therein in the manner of an herbaceous perennial. Even if plants do not die to the ground in winter, they often grow more vigorously, produce superior flowers and maintain better shape if cut close to the ground in late winter each year. Prompt removal of spent flower spikes during the growing season will usually encourage continued bloom until frost.
