This stunning Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection will not only enhance your garden but also have the pollinators coming in droves. The combination includes Buddleia ‘Bicolor’, Blaze Pink 'Bosblink', Royal Razz 'SRPbudroy', and ‘Honeycomb’; you will have a mixture of pink, purple, honeycomb and even multicolor flowers bursting forth from July onwards. A mature height of 5 to 6 feet makes these butterfly bushes the perfect specimen or border addition.
The flowers of the Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection are not just beautiful, but delightfully scented as well. These deciduous shrubs are easy to grow and are considered winter hardy down to zone 5. They are ideally suited to planting at the back of a border or for growing as a group.
Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection Care
The Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection performs best in full sun and in free-draining soil. Even though these plants are drought tolerant once established, regular watering is required for the first growing season. Fertilization is not generally required and may even lead to fewer flowers.
Regular deadheading will help keep these shrubs looking their best and encourage new flowers to form over the summer. In late winter, cut back stems to just above a pair of buds and watch the new growth emerge.
Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection Spacing
The Buddleias of this Colorful Butterfly Bush Collection will grow to around 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. A plant spacing of around 5 feet will allow them to fill out over time and reach their full potential.

?
"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
- Late winter to early spring, before new growth starts
