Buddleia WHITE PROFUSION Live Butterfly Bush Plant Summer Lilac Large Flower Cluster Starter Size (1) 4 Inch Pot Emerald Tm

If you want your garden to be a favorite stopping off place for butterflies and hummingbirds, the Buddleias are a must have. They are an easy-to-grow flowering shrub that establishes quickly and usually blooms the first season.

Profuse, fragrant blooms that smell like lilacs are born in big panicles at the ends of long, flexible arching stems, hence the common name Summer Lilac, though the species is unrelated to Lilacs.

Buddleias grow in a variety of colors, from dark, almost black purples, pale pastel blue and pink-toned lavenders, and golden, buttery yellows and brilliant white. Flowers are rich in nectar and irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds. White Profusion is a reliable, heirloom hybrid that tends to bloom early and profusely.

Buddleias are moderately cold tolerant and are recommended for Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Generally, well-established plants will freeze to the ground in Zones 5-7 and resprout in the Spring but are evergreen elsewhere.

A few locations have concerns about the potential invasiveness of the old original Buddleia davidii species, and although these restrictions do not apply to sterile hybrids, we do not ship any Buddlieas to Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, or Hawaii.
