(36-48" tall x 24-36" wide) Buzz® 'Hot Raspberry' Butterfly Bush is an exceptional addition to the pollinator-friendly garden. Flowering from early summer to late fall with 6-8-inch tapering spikes of magenta blossoms, they add a colorful, long-blooming element to the garden. Butterflies and hummingbirds will make 'Hot Raspberry' their favorite stop! At 3-4 feet tall, 'Hot Raspberry' is a great choice for a small garden or a nice selection to work into a perennial bed without it taking over. Also lovely in containers, its sweet honey scent can be enjoyed along with the butterflies it attracts. Plant butterfly bush in compost-enriched soil with good drainage in a sunny to part sun location. Water well to establish, thereafter it is a water-thrifty plant. Deadhead spent flowers to keep more flowers coming. In mid-spring, cut stems back to 3 inches long to stimulate good growth and lots of flowers. This rabbit and deer resistant shrub is an easy-to-grow selection for a long season of colorful blossoms. Hardy in zones 4-9.

"it is growing nicely, still very small"
"It came with 2 dead spires and a green something that I am not sure belongs. Very disappointing! I sent a picture when it arrived and got no response. It also arrived too early for planting where I live."
"Gave review earlier in year and here is update of bushes and the growth in a few months. Healthy plants delivered and nothing but happiness buying them."
"Ordered two bushes. Delivered healthy plants that still had moisture from shipping cross country. Arrived safely with the upmost effort in packing bushes. No broken branches no surprises just two perfect looking butterfly bushes delivered. I also have bought seeds from company and just like live plants the seeds are top quality and priced right."
"We have an acre lot that was devestated by a forest fire a few years ago. We are now replacing what use to be pine trees with a variety of trees and many plants. I have placed several orders with High Country Gardens and have always been happy. Last fall I ordered several Butterfly Bushes and some Yucca plants that did not do well and did not come back this year. I contacted customer service and they got back to me right away. I created a replacement order on a Wednesday night and had my new beautiful plants by the following Monday morning! I am so impressed with this company, their word is gold!! I wll be a High Country Gardens customer for life!! High quality plants and perfect customer serviceâ¤ï¸"
