Notes

'SRPbudroy' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'SRPbudroy') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows fast and has an arching shape. Fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Pairs well with Japanese forest grass, Ornamental onion, Coral Charm peony, and Smoketree.
