Notes
'Miss Molly' butterfly bush (Buddleja 'Miss Molly') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, and cut flowers. 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. Its arching stems grow at a rapid pace and carry fragrant blooms that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Russian sage, Little bluestem, and Garden phlox.
