Notes

'Little Angel' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Little Angel') is a shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and most soil types. Fragrant flowers bloom in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the flowers.

Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Feather reed grass.
