Psychedelic Sky™ Butterfly Bush

Dark and dramatic blooms that are out of this world, the First Editions® Psychedelic Sky™ Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii 'PIIBD-III' PP 26,306) is a shrub covered in huge (six to ten inches long!) spikes of fragrant clear blue flowers that are an instant draw to butterflies and Hummingbirds.

The flowers are strikingly colored and come in droves, ensuring that you will have plenty of great honey-scented cuts for indoor floral bouquets as well as plenty of food for butterflies and hummingbirds outside! Backed by an airy and arching 4-6 foot tall and nearly as wide shrubby mound of gray-green aromatic foliage. Blooming their hearts out until frost!

Psychedelic Sky™ Buddleja from First Editions® will make landscaping easy! Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 5-9, these shrubs won't attract Deer and are relatively pest and disease-free! In some areas, Buddleia can self-seed and become invasive, but First Edition® Buddleia are sterile and won't get into trouble! Nature Hills uses Plant Sentry™ to keep your ecosystem safe!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Butterfly Bushes must be grown in full sun in average, well-drained soil. Buddleia (sometimes spelled Buddleja) need regular moisture their first year, but become low-water usage once established. But they appreciate supplemental moisture during drought and the summer months to keep the flowers returning. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch to support your shrub's root system to hold moisture consistently and insulate the roots.

Take care to deadhead this beauty and you will have flowers well into autumn. Once winter hits, Psychedelic Sky™ will die back to the ground in cold winter places and act like an herbaceous perennial, but will come back faithfully every year to resume its place in your garden. In warmer climates, prune it back in spring to 12 inches to rejuvenate the entire plant in the early spring.
