Notes
'White Profusion' butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii 'White Profusion') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, 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 soil of most types. Fragrant white flowers appear in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, drawing butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. This fast grower reaches 5 to 6 feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Ornamental onion, and Black Baccara rose.
