Notes
'Princess Pink' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Princess Pink') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, cottage 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 soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Its fragrant blooms open in early to late summer and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It grows fast and forms an arching shape, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Stonecrop, and Feather reed grass.
