Royal Red Butterfly Bush

Royal Red Butterfly Bush

Buddleia davidii 'Royal Red'

This fast-growing butterfly bush bears long, fragrant red flower spikes from midsummer through autumn: a powerful pollinator magnet attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds through the summer months.

  • Long, fragrant red flower spikes are produced continuously from midsummer through autumn; deadheading the spent spikes encourages rebloom.
  • Mounding habit, reaching 2 m at maturity; cut back hard to 30 cm in early spring to prevent woody stems and encourage vigorous new growth.
  • Best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil.

Plant in a well-drained soil in full sun. Prompt removal of spent flowers during the growing season can encourage continued bloom until frost. Prune back in late winter to maintain shape, and encourage growth and flowering for the following season.
