The Dapper® White Butterfly Bush, or the Buddleia Davidii Dapper ‘White’, grows vigorous masses of white flower cones, reminiscent of vanilla soft serve ice cream, against its deep green foliage. Your shrub’s flowers will grow during the summertime and will rebloom in autumn. The plant holds a round, compact shape, and will reach a height ranging between 3 to 4 feet and a spread of 3 to 4 feet. This lovely, eye-catching shrub will grab the attention of both butterflies and hummingbirds.

Native to China, this shrub gives off a sweet, irresistible scent and is deciduous. It is both drought tolerant and deer resistant but may be susceptible to downy mildew, which causes the development of mildew patches underneath the leaves. Although mildew will not appear on the top of the leaves, the leaves may turn yellow or brown as a result of the disease. This shrub grows at a fast rate and won’t require much maintenance on your behalf. You can use these for borders, beds, mass planting, and containers.

Dapper® White Butterfly Bush Plant Care

Your Dapper® White Butterfly Bush will grow best when getting at least 5 hours of full or partial sun exposure every day. It needs moist, well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7 for optimal growth. However, your shrub will be able to handle alkaline soil with a pH reaching 8.5. You must water your shrub regularly until it is established.

Because spent flowers will be covered by your shrub’s newer blooms, deheading will not really be necessary. You can, however, cut your shrub’s flowers after they are fully grown.

Dapper® White Butterfly Bush Plant Spacing

When planting your Dapper® White Butterfly Bush, it is essential that you leave at least 3 to 4 feet of space between each plant.

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.
