Notes
'Prince Charming' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Prince Charming') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, and containers. 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. Fragrant blooms open in summer and again in autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. The arching shrub grows fast.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Orange daylily.
