Royal Red Butterfly Bush
Quick Facts :: Growing Tips
Legend
Description:
6-8’ x 5’ wide, (cutting propagated). “Royal Red” is one of the best Butterfly Bush varieties, valued for its vigor, heavy flowering habit and intense, deeply colored flowers. Nice deep green foliage, too. Summer-blooming Buddleia should be pruned every second or third year in mid-spring. Wait until the new foliage begins to show; then cut back main stems and thin crossed branches to two-thirds or half their original height. Grown in 5” pots. Zone 5-10.
Potentially invasive in the higher rainfall areas of western Washington & Oregon.
