The charming Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush boasts beautiful flowers and continues to put on a floral display from spring through fall. The Buddleia davidii Butterfly Candy™ 'Lil' Coconut'™ has white flowers that bloom in cone-shaped flower clusters. The flowers bloom in ascending order, working their way from the bottom to the tip of the cone-shaped panicles. Green ovate foliage gives the plant a full and lush appearance.

This butterfly bush has an upright growth habit and works wonderfully in a mixed bed or border. Create a flowering hedge along a walkway or outdoor entertaining space. The flowers are showy, but also fragrant, so feature this beauty in a high-traffic area where the flowers can be enjoyed entirely. The Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush thrives in heat and looks amazing as the summer temperature soars. Grow this shrub in zones 4 through 11.

Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush Care

Plant the Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush in full sun. This plant is not picky about soil, but a fertile, moist soil that promotes drainage is ideal. Keep the soil evenly moist and avoid overly wet or dry conditions. Fertilize annually each spring to encourage growth and help the plant set plenty of blooms.

Remove dead or damaged growth in the spring and prune to shape. Trim spent blooms to extend the bloom season.

Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush Spacing

The Li'l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush stands 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart to create a dense planting.

Plant Addicts always guarantees your plant(s) will arrive happy & healthy. However, plant(s) are being shipped through the mail & sometimes accidents happen.

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.
