Buddleja Davidii, also known as Butterfly Bush, is a perennial upright shrub native to China and Japan. The "Buzz" cultivar was developed in England by Thompson and Morgan as a compact, non-invasive variety. Davidii Buzz Hot Raspberry is sterile and reaches 3-5' tall by 2-3' wide, making it the perfect patio shrub. Though the bush takes up less space than the typical Buddleja, the flowers are still 6-8" long, fragrant, and in bloom from June-September. This plant attracts bees and butterflies and will tolerate any well-drained soil. Buzz is low-maintenance and hardy in zones 5-9. Pair Davidii Buzz Hot Raspberry with Buzz Purple or Buzz Ivory to create a colorful shrub border.

Davidii Buzz is a must for any wildlife or butterfly garden. Davidii Buzz Hot Raspberry pairs well with Echinacea, Asclepias, Salvia, Monarda, and Perovskia to create a delightful cottage-style perennial garden.

Coach Your Customer
1. Whether in a large container or the ground, plant Buddleja Davidii Buzz in well-drained soil in full sun. While this shrub can withstand average soil and some drought, it does not succeed in overly wet conditions. Water containers a few times a week and landscape Buddleja once a week.
2. Deadhead blooms promptly for a tidy appearance and to encourage continuous blooming until first frost.
3. Cut back to 12-24" after last frost or in early spring (or, in colder climates, it will die back on its own). Fertilize once a year in spring.
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For the best results with Davidii Buzz Hot Raspberry, use well-drained soil in full sun with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Plant 1 plug per 3-gallon container. Watch for spider mites. Allow soil to dry between waterings. In a landscape environment, Buddleja Davidii Buzz is low-maintenance, requiring only moderate water and deadheading.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
