Buddleia
davidii 'Pink Delight' * Pink Butterfly Bush |
| The Pink
Butterfly Bush, Buddleia Pink Delight is a tame Butterfly Bush if there is one, at 8' or more. Like
the other Buddleia's, Buddleia Pink Delight will do well with a hard
haircut once or twice per year. The flowers of Buddleia Pink Delight
turn brown as they die but do not fall off the plants. A couple of
leaf nodes below the flowers new shoots form. I trim off the flowers
at this point several times until the plants get too big. Buddleia
Pink Delight prefers good soil but will hang in there even in some of the
most difficult conditions. Buddleia davidii cultivars are hardy to 0
degrees or below. Buddleia can produce seedlings, and can become a
pest in some situations. In areas adjacent to wild lands it is
probably best to plant something else.
Buddleia Pink Delight is a nectar source for the Red
Admiral Butterfly and a great addition to the butterfly
garden.
