Notes
'Pink Delight' wand butterflybush (Buddleja 'Pink Delight') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 60 to 84 inches tall and wide, so give it room. Fragrant blooms open in early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Mexican hat, and Little bluestem.
