The Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush adds a bold burst of color to a landscape, but this perennial has more to offer than good looks. This herbaceous shrub supports pollinators and looks amazing with minimal care. The Buddleja 'Bosblink' boasts tiny flowers that grow in clusters known as panicles. Each hot pink flower has an orange eye for added dimension. Flowers bloom during the summer and fall. The vibrant flowers are complemented by silvery-green foliage.
The branched, upright growth habit adds height to the back of a mixed planting or can conceal a fence. Butterfly bush plants attract butterflies and other pollinators, such as hummingbirds and bees. Foraging animals, like rabbits and deer, leave the Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush alone. The Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush is heat tolerant, allowing it to thrive in challenging summer conditions. It grows as a perennial in zones 5 through 10.
Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush Care
Plant the Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush in full to partial sun, although expect more prolific blooming in full sun. Rich soil supports growth, but most importantly, the soil should promote drainage. Soggy conditions are damaging to butterfly bushes. Keep the soil moist and water only when the top layer is dry. Apply a thick layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring to start the growing season strong.
Trim leggy overgrowth partway through the summer to encourage more branching and encourage another flush of flowers. Prune back old, damaged growth in early spring before new growth appears.
Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush Spacing
The Blaze Pink Butterfly Bush grows 5 to 6 feet tall and wide. Space plants 5 to 6 feet apart to create a dense hedge.
