The Two-Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form, or Buddleia, is a lovely flowering plant that has good looks and fragrant flowers and supports pollinators. Tiny, bell-shaped flowers bloom in cone-shaped clusters. The flowers are shades of yellow, lavender, and raspberry. Different colored flowers grow on each cluster, creating a tie-dye look. Enjoy the stunning flowers from summer through fall.
Feature this beauty as a focal point in a mixed bed or butterfly garden. Introduce vibrant color on a deck or patio by planting the Two Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form in a container. The Two-Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form is cold hardy in zones 6 through 9 but can be grown as a container plant in colder climates when moved to a protected area during winter.
Two Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form Care
Plant a Two-Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form in full sun. Keep the soil moist but never soggy. Container-grown plants need water more often. A thick layer of mulch will help retain water and prevent the roots from drying out. Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks during the summer to support continued flowering.
Cut growth back by one-third in the later winter or early spring before new growth appears. Move container plants to a protected area out of the elements and away from cold temperatures.
Two Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form Spacing
Two-Tone Butterfly Bush Tree Form stands up to 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Space plants 3 feet apart when creating a continuous planting or feature one butterfly bush tree in a 16-inch container.
