Support pollinators and enjoy lovely flowers with Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush. Tiny violet-blue flowers with a slight orange eye grow in clusters. The cone-shaped flower clusters gently arch and continuously bloom from spring through the first heavy frost. Also known as Buddleia x 'Podaras #8’, this butterfly bush boasts silvery-green foliage with serrated edges and a fuzzy texture.

The mounded, spreading form makes the Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush a good pick for beds and borders. Plant this bush in the back of a mixed bed for height and color, or create a low hedge along a fence or shed. Bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies enjoy the flowers, but the plant is generally deer resistant. Grow the Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush in zones 5 through 10.

Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush Care

Plenty of sunlight is necessary for the Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush to thrive, so choose a planting location in full sun. Rich, moist soil that allows drainage is vital. New plants need regular water, but established plants can live in drier conditions. Water during an extended dry period to support growth. A springtime fertilizer application gives the Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush a solid start to the growing season.

Prune the plant in early spring to remove dead and damaged growth. Leave spent growth in place over the winter to protect the crown.

Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush Spacing

The Blue Heaven Butterfly Bush grows 24 to 30 inches tall and wide. Space plants 24 to 30 inches apart for a dense planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
