Notes

'Pink Cascade' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Pink Cascade') 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 soil of most types. Its arching stems grow quickly and bear fragrant blooms that draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It also tolerates drought and salt.

Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Orange daylily.
