Notes
'Tobud0703' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'Tobud0703') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast and has an arching shape. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Royal Purple smoketree, Japanese forest grass, and Casa Blanca lily.
