Buddleia Butterfly Candy Little Ruby

Also known as Butterfly Bush, Buddleia is a striking shrub that is even more popular with butterflies than it is with humans, attracting pollinators to the garden. Buddleia Butterfly Candy Little Ruby is a dwarf variety and is ideal for planting in flowerbeds and borders where it won’t grow to be too large for the space. It also works well in pots and containers to brighten up patios and driveways.

Rich grey-green foliage emerges in Spring and lasts all season before dying back in time for Winter. However, the star of this show is the spiky clusters of deep red flowers that bloom all Summer long. These flowers are pleasantly fragrant and contrast beautifully with the leaves.

Butterfly Bushes are easy to grow and don’t demand much attention. They prefer moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Once established, buddleia is drought tolerant, but will need a drink during long dry spells of Summer weather. As long as the drainage is good, your new Buddleia Butterfly Candy Little Ruby plant will thrive even in poor soil. It does well in most soil types and is fully hardy.
