The 3 in 1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush deserves the buzz about its showy flowers. The tiny flowers bloom in cone-shaped clusters from late spring through fall in shades of bluish-purple, dark pink, and white. This plant is actually three separate plants, the Buddleia davidii Buzz™ 'Ivory’, 'Sky Blue’, and 'Hot Raspberry’. The flowers look amazing but are also fragrant and have a mild, sweet scent.
Feature the 3 in 1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush in a mixed bed, border, or container. These plants are good for a butterfly garden and support a vegetable garden since they encourage pollinators to visit the area. The three cultivars are curated for a perfectly coordinated look. The 3 in 1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush grows in zones 5 through 10.
3n1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush Care
While the 3 in 1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush consists of three separate plants, they all have the same care requirements. Plant butterfly bushes in full sun, in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Water consistently for the first growing season. Established plants can survive on rainfall and only need water during a dry period. Container-grown plants need more consistent water several times a week, depending on the weather. Fertilize with a balanced plant food to encourage abundant growth.
Trim spent flower clusters to encourage prolonged blooming. Remove leggy growth to maintain a bushy form. Spread a thick layer of mulch to protect the roots from chilly temperatures. Hard prune in late winter or early spring once green buds appear to reduce size.
3n1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush Spacing
The 3 in 1 All the Buzz Butterfly Bush reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart, center on center, for a continuous planting or feature all three plants in an 18-inch wide container.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
- When to Prune
