Notes
'Magenta Munchkin' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Magenta Munchkin') 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. The fragrant flowers open from early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and they attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. This compact shrub stays 24 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Orange daylily.
