PURPLE BUTTERFLY BUSH
Buddleja Buddleia
SKU: 321-10
Description
The butterfly bush is probably the most loved flowering shrub for butterflies! Each flower cluster is composed of hundreds of tiny deep violet-blue tubular flowers that are loaded with nectar suitable to a huge range of butterflies, moths, and other pollinators! Plants are extremely and shrubs are easy to grow once established, and require little care. Unlike many shrubs, these plants will bloom the first season from seed when started early! Plants reach 18" in the first season, and they mature at 5' in the second season.
Type: Shrub
Height: 5'
Location: Sun or part
Hardiness zones: 4-9
Bloom time: Summer
Seeds per pack: 10 (Buddleia seeds are very small)
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Surface sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and keep continually moist until plants germinate. Germinate at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F).
