Buddleia Bi-Color FLOWER POWER Live Butterfly Bush Plant Summer Lilac Large Flower Cluster Non Invasive Hybrid

The Bi-Color Buddleia was hybridized at a prominent southern agricultural university in 1999. It is a hybrid from Buddleia weyeriana Honeycomb and has become one of the most popular Butterfly Bushes in US and UK.

Big, full, scented blooms emerge in late Spring to early Summer, opening as a solid blue toned lavender body that then changes to multi-shades of pink, peach, and purple as the bloom ages. The bush has the classic growth habit of others of the species, growing lanky and upright with arching, flexible stems. The multi-hued flowers are nectar rich and equally attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds as the parent species. Primarily sold in the US as Bi-Color and in the UK as Flower Power.

 While Buddleias are an excellent nectar source for adult Butterflies, they are not hosts. A balanced Butterfly habitat should also include other varied species of host plants.

Hybrid buddlieas are typically  infertile, but should still be grown responsibly.   Although this hybrid does not set large amounts of viable seed, spent flowers should be trimmed away and disposed of to prevent the spread beyond the intended planting area.  

Although hybrids have no specific shipping restrictions that we are aware of, we do not ship Buddlieas to Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska or Hawaii out of an abundance of caution, as those states do have restrictions for the Buddleia davidii species.
