Buddleia x weyeriana 'Honeycomb'

We have four butterfly bushes
, Buddleia davidii., in the Arboretum's Butterfly Garden. All produce masses of arching flowers that attract butterflies, bees, lady beetles, and even hummingbirds. Ours grow from 4 feet tall (Lo and Behold 'Blue Chip') to 8 feet plus ('Black Knight'). They do best in full sun with well-drained soil. Blooms occur on new growth, so ours are cut back to about knee high in the spring. Blooming will continue until frost if faded blooms are removed.
