Notes
'Buddaplav' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Buddaplav') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator 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. It sits low on the menu for deer. Fragrant blooms open in summer and again in autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It grows fast and has an arching shape.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Pink Hawaiian Coral peony, and Ornamental onion.
