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."

    So far so good!

    Posted by Melissa Lohman on Aug 31, 2020

    This plant is hard to review because I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks, and it is so very tiny. At first glance it appears to be doing well, but I really don’t feel like I can adequately read it yet. If I am able to edit next year once it grows a bit I will be glad to come back and rank it higher. As of right now, it looks like it’s doing OK. It did show up healthy and packaged appropriately.

    on my porch

    Posted by Plant Grandma on Mar 24, 2019

    I bought 2 of these to put in pots on my porch. Both are doing just great. They were kind of small when I got them, but quickly grew and now look great!
