Buddleja davidii – Hot Raspberry

This latest in the Buzz series of compact butterfly bushes features vivid fuchsia-pink flowers on 10″ long arching cones. Blooming from early summer to late fall, the sweetly scented flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies & hummingbirds. Once established, plants are covered in vibrant swathes of hot raspberry flowers. This award winner is definitely meant to be a focal point in your garden! Its compactness (3-4′ H&W) means that it is easily grown in a container, while its spread means it can hold its own in a garden bed. Use wherever you wish to make a bold statement or to anchor a pollinator garden. Flower cones make a wonderful cut flower. Very drought tolerant once established. Deadhead to prolong blooming. Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Prune to desired shape. Deer resistant. Earl, Curious Plantsman
