Notes
'Adokeep' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Adokeep') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Dark blue, fragrant blooms open in summer and again in autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Gaura, Black Baccara rose, and Casa Blanca lily.
