Humdinger® Lavender Cupcake Butterfly Bush - Buddleia - Compact - Gallon Pot

BUDDLEIA: Graceful gray-green foliage arches with flowers from summer into fall. The common name aptly describes this garden beauty. It does not wake up until late spring, but it’s worth the wait! Flowers form on current growth. Should be cut back to 12-18” each spring. Will quickly grow backwith many flowering canes. Although this Buddleia has a shorter stature, its extremely dense, compact habit demands your attention in the garden. Very long 10-12”, pure white flower panicles appear above the gum drop-like habit a few weeks sooner than you would expect for a Butterfly Bush. Although the best blooming power is in its initial bloom in mid to late summer, secondary blooms will extend the flowering season. The word “humdinger” is defined as “something that is very impressive or exciting.” That word definitely applies to this new collection of Buddleia! This collection features five new varieties of Butterfly Bush, each blooming a few weeks earlier than the members of the MONARCH® Collection. In addition to blooming starting in midsummer, each of these varieties has a compact habit and shorter stature.
