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.

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.
