SKU: n/a.$14.99
Become your florist.
Little Rockstars Red Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, plant is perfectly adorned with hoards of beautiful cone-shaped red blooms. Little Rockstars Red Butterfly Bush looks like a floral bouquet all season long. The rosy-red blossoms are so perfectly arranged that you’ll wonder if some magical floral arranger placed them. Little Rockstars Red Butterfly Bush only grows 1′ tall, making it ideal for front of the border, as a small hedge edging walkways, for pollinator and cutting gardens, and in containers. The shortest Buddleia we know of.
Little Rockstars Red Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, begins blooming in summer, with flowering continuing into fall. The pretty blossoms have a light, sweet fragrance and are beloved by butterflies and other pollinators.
Buddleia is easy to grow in full sun, is deer and rabbit-resistant, and is drought-tolerant. It is not picky about soil as long as it drains well.
Plant in full sun in well-draining soil. Although extremely drought tolerant, plants will bloom best with consistent moisture. Plants may die back to the ground in winter. In spring, cut out all dead wood and cut back the live wood half the height, sometimes close to the ground. Buddleia breaks dormancy in late spring and is usually among the last plants to leaf out.
