Lo and Behold 'Purple Haze' Butterfly Bush loads all of the benefits of a butterfly bush into a smaller package, plus it's sterile. Since Lo and Behold does not set seed, it can't become invasive, a problem in some areas of the country with older butterfly bush (Buddleia) varieties. Now that we have that out of the way, think about this butterfly magnet as the prettiest ground cover you could have in zones 5 through 9. It will bloom all summer and into fall, attracting birds, butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.
Lo and Behold 'Purple Haze' grows shorter and wider than most upright butterfly bushes, so it also can form a low border in the landscape, with several planted near one another. Its fragrant, purple-blue flowers form in summer in long-cone-shaped bursts of color. Yet another bonus? Butterfly bushes need no deadheading; the flowers keep forming all season. And once the shrub is established, it can handle drought and keep on flowering.
Lo and Behold Purple Haze Butterfly Bush Care
Plant your Lo and Behold 'Purple Haze' Butterfly Bush in full sun and soil that drains well. Each spring, prune the branches down to where you see new leaves forming, fairly close to the ground. Water it a little more in the first year. That's all you have to do to keep your butterfly bush healthy and bringing in monarchs and other butterflies.
Lo and Behold Purple Haze Butterfly Bush Spacing
For a garden or landscape border, plant your Lo and Behold 'Purple Haze' shrubs 3 to 3.5 feet apart from one center to another.
Interesting Facts - This plant is sometimes called "summer lilac" instead of a "butterfly bush."
