Veseys

Buddleia davidii

Grow in average, medium-moisture, well-drained soil in full sun, spacing 6’-8’ apart. Tolerates some drought once established. Removal of spent flower spikes during the growing season will encourage additional bloom. Regardless of winter protection, this plant will usually die back to the ground in winter, but roots will survive. Even if it does not die back to the ground, it will usually grow more vigorously, produce superior flowers and maintain a better shape if it is routinely cut back to a framework close to the ground in late winter. When hard-pruned annually, butterfly bush will typically grow to 6’-8’ tall. Zone 5
