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.

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.

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.
