Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Taffy™ Butterfly Bush

Sweet garden dessert! With bubblegum pink vertical blooms, the Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Taffy™ Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii 'BotEx 005') brings a world of biodiversity to your garden with sweet scent and candy-pink blooms! Held aloft in upright, fluffy tapering panicles, this cheerful pink-flowering Buddleia adds space-saving yumminess to your landscape!

The new Butterfly Candy™ line of Buddleia is wonderfully compact and stays just 2-3 feet in height and width, but is packed full of lovely lighter sage to gray-green foliage. Each branch ends in a vertically pointed cluster of tiny, scented blooms, jam-packed into tight clusters! Each held up like a beacon for every butterfly, bee, and hummingbird in your neighborhood!

Lil' Taffy™ is hardy throughout chilly USDA growing zones 5 to warm zone 10! The floriferous blooms keep returning for your pollinators and cut flower arrangements so long as you keep them deadheaded.

Acting as woody perennials in cooler climates, and deciduous shrubs in warmer ones, Butterfly Bushes usually are slow to start in colder zones, but grow fast once temps are just right! They can start sooner in warmer zones where Lil' Taffy™ blooms in late spring, through summer, and continue into fall!

#ProPlantTips For Care

Buddleia Butterfly Bushes bloom best and have the strongest stems in full sun, so provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Plant in almost any kind of well-drained, enriched soil with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch as topdressing. Then in the early spring before you see new growth, prune back your entire bush. This plant is like a woody perennial in colder zones it will die back, and should cut stems down in late winter or early spring before it starts to grow and all fresh new growth will develop from the roots. Deadhead to keep new blooms returning all growing season. Butterfly Bushes are rarely damaged by deer unless truly desperate!

• Full Sun Is Best
• Moderate to Lower, Yet Consistent Soil Moisture
• Enriched, Very Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates Mulched Beds
• Deadhead Often For Rebloom
• Prune Back in Early Spring
• Deer Seldom Bother It
