Make your space a pollinator sanctuary, or just enjoy some lovely blooms with the Dwarf Dapper® Butterfly Bush Collection. Tiny flowers densely grow in cone-shaped clusters that gently arch. The flowers bloom from summer through fall and are offset by ovate foliage that comes to a point. The collection features three plants, including Buddleia davidii Dapper® Lavender ('Buddaplav’), Pink ('Condappin’), and White ('Dapconwhi’). The plants are identical except for the flower color, which gives them a cohesive and curated appearance.

Butterfly bushes are great for a colorful border or a stunning mixed bed. Group the plants together or plant them in different areas of a yard for a coordinated look. The plants in the Dwarf Dapper® Butterfly Bush Collection grow well in containers, where they take the role of filler. Trim stems to include flowers in arrangements. Their sweet fragrance makes them a favorite of pollinators like butterflies. Feature these plants near a patio, deck, or walkway to fully enjoy the honey-like scent.

Dwarf Dapper® Butterfly Bush Collection Care

Plant these butterfly bushes in full sun and in fertile, moist, and well-drained soil. Young plants need consistent water, while acclimated plants can handle some dryness. Water the plants during a drought to support continued blooming. Apply a balanced fertilizer each spring.

Butterfly bushes are herbaceous perennials. Remove damaged growth in early spring before new growth emerges.

Dwarf Dapper® Butterfly Bush Collection Spacing

All of the plants in the Dwarf Dapper® Butterfly Bush Collection stand 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Space plants 3 to 4 feet apart to create a continuous planting.
