Description
Add a juicy treat to your landscape with the all-new Butterfly Candy™ Lil' Raspberry™ Butterfly Bush (Buddleia davidii 'BotEx 006')! The raspberry-pink panicles and their sweet scent are held aloft in upright, fluffy panicles! This bright pink-flowering Buddleia is a space-saving fruity delight that acts like a beacon for every butterfly, bee, and hummingbird in your neighborhood to show up in your landscape!
The new Butterfly Candy™ line of Buddleia is wonderfully compact and stays just 2-3 feet in height and width, but is packed full of lovely lighter sage to gray-green foliage. Every one of the many branches ends in a vertically pointed cluster of tiny, scented blooms, jam-packed into tight clusters! Lil' Raspberry™ is hardy throughout chilly USDA growing zones 5 to warm zone 10! The floriferous fruity blooms keep returning for your pollinators and cut flower arrangements so long as you keep them deadheaded.
Acting as woody perennials in cooler climates, and deciduous shrubs in warmer ones, Butterfly Bushes usually are slow to start in colder zones, but grow fast once temps are just right! They can start sooner in warmer zones where Lil' Raspberry™ blooms in late spring, through summer, and continue into fall!

Packed with vital nectar for all your winged visitors and beneficial pollinators, the flowers also are a treat for you as well! They look lovely in Cutting Gardens and smell as sweet as they look!

Great gifts and Kid-friendly, everyone will enjoy watching as Lil' Raspberry™ attracts tons of wildlife! Include a pair of garden gloves, a book on butterfly identification, and a pair of binoculars or a camera to go with your thoughtful, easy-care gift!

#ProPlantTips For Care
Buddleia Butterfly Bushes bloom best and have the strongest stems in full sun, so provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Plant in almost any kind of well-drained, enriched soil with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch as topdressing. Then in the early spring before you see new growth, prune back your entire bush. This plant is like a woody perennial in colder zones it will die back, and should cut stems down in late winter or early spring before it starts to grow and all fresh new growth will develop from the roots. Deadhead to keep new blooms returning all growing season. Butterfly Bushes are rarely damaged by deer unless truly desperate!
- Full Sun For The Most Blooms
- Moderate to Lower, Yet Consistent Soil Moisture
- Enriched, Very Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Deadhead Often For Rebloom
- Prune Back in Early Spring
- Deer Seldom Bother It

Fantastic blooms almost immediately !! Just like the Buddleia Perfecta Trifecta, the Lil’ Raspberry Butterfly Bush arrived well packed and ready to bloom. It’s been only 3vweeks and the bush is attracting a lot of butterflies.
Three weeks in and already drawing butterflies. that is a great sign that the plant settled into its new spot without missing a beat. Buddleias can be reliable that way when they arrive in good condition and go straight into the ground. Thanks for the update, Karl, and enjoy the show this season.

A butterfly bush that earns a one-word review like that is doing its job. Enjoy the blooms and the pollinators it will bring your way. Thanks for sharing, Nancy!
Wonderful plant, doing great with lots of visitors already. Beautiful blooms!
Butterfly bushes really do earn their name, and it sounds like yours is proving that already. The Psychedelic Sky blooms are such a standout color that the pollinators seem to find them quickly. If you want even more visitors next season, a light deadheading through summer keeps the flowers coming strong. Thanks for sharing, Helen!
It was in perfect condition when received. I love it!
Receiving a plant in perfect condition is always a great start, and Butterfly Bush tends to settle in quickly once it's in the ground. This one will reward you with long bloom periods and plenty of pollinator activity through the season. Thanks for sharing, Delcie. The Nature Hills Team
My shrub arrived in great condition and continues to grow.
Butterfly Bush establishes quickly when it arrives in good shape, so that steady growth is a great sign heading into the season. It should reward you with a long bloom period and plenty of butterfly visitors once it hits its stride. Thanks for sharing, Patty. The Nature Hills Team
So far it's holding it's own. I planted it in full sun. Plenty of humidity and high 80 temps making it rough. Fingers crossed 🤞
Butterfly Bush is a tough plant, and Lil' Raspberry handles heat better than most once it settles in. Full sun is exactly where it wants to be, so you have that part right. Keep the soil consistently moist through that establishment period and it should start pushing new growth before long. Rooting for it right along with you, Ken! -The Nature Hills team
I planted this a couple weeks before extreme heat in Michigan. Kept it watered and it’s doing well. Very excited to watch it grow.
Starting a new plant right before an extreme heat stretch takes some real attentiveness, and it sounds like you gave it exactly what it needed. Butterfly Bush tends to reward that kind of early care with strong establishment, so you should have a lot to look forward to as it fills in and starts drawing pollinators. Thanks for sharing, Gerry. The Nature Hills Team
Great plants!
Super pleased with all plants. 3 Butterfly bushes had EXCELLENT root growth and were well packaged!
Hi Thomas, Thank you for the 5-star review, we appreciate it and you! We hope that you have an abundance of butterflies flocking to your landscape to enjoy your butterfly bushes! Thank you - Nature Hills Customer Support
