Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this.

Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

The Black Knight Butterfly Bush, (Buddleia davidii 'Black Knight'), is more like Prince Charming when it comes to butterflies. Butterflies can't resist the allure and charm of these fragrant and mesmerizing blooms. This plant offers spectacular spikes of flowers that will bring all the butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard. This impressive deciduous beauty will capture your heart and inspire your creativity.

As its name implies, the Butterfly Bush is the butterfly whisperer of the flower world. It entices butterflies to stop by for a sip of its sweet and fragrant nectar. This sweet-scented plant brings the biggest gathering of butterflies in the afternoon when its honey-scented nectar sweetens in the sun. The butterflies will need to make room for hummingbirds who enjoy this sweet treat as well.

From the deep, almost black-purple color of muscadine grapes to the vibrant pop of purple, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush produces some of the most dramatic flowers you'll find! Each with a tiny orange center deep inside the throat of each trumpet that densely clusters along the bottlebrush like spikes of flowerheads. These flowers are sure to add a sense of drama to your summer and into fall when they bloom.

Planting and Application:

Plant one of these as a floral privacy hedge near your pool or reading garden. One of these would steal the show in your butterfly garden. At maturity, these are sizeable shrubs that won't block the view entirely, but still leave a magnificent impression on the landscape! Use as a tall focal point or specimen plant and anchor throughout garden beds, borders and cut flower gardens!

If you're looking for a ravishing show of blooms, butterflies and hummingbirds, this is the plant for you. It's breathtaking when in blooms and won't take all your time when it comes to care. They're perfect for Rock Gardens and pollinator beds or en masse and rows for light and airy screening!

  • Dramatic Spikes of Rich Dark-Violet Flowers
  • Light Airy Branching & Gray-Green Foliage
  • Butterfly & Hummingbird Magnet
  • Sweetly Scented Fragrance
  • Great for a Breezy Privacy Screen

#ProPlantTips for Care:

This beauty is easy to grow! All you need to do is find a sunny spot and plant this perennial shrub in well-drained, moderately moist soil. It grows vigorously. It's also pest, deer, and rabbit resistant. It blooms on new growth, so don't forget to prune it to the ground in the early spring before you see new growth.
