What’s sweet, small, and not fattening?
Buddleja davidii Butterfly Candy® of course!
A group of 6 varieties of butterfly bush is an excellent option for those who want to enjoy the beauty of these plants on the terrace, in a small garden, or want to create a low, colorful composition. Buddlejas Butterfly Candy® grow to about 80 cm in height and have wide and a naturally rounded habit. They bloom profusely (remember to advise your retail customers to cut them in spring) and delight with a wealth of colors – from pure white, through delicate, sweet pink (the name obliges), to various shades of purple – cool, lavender, and warm, deep and elegant.
An additional bonus of Buddlejas Butterfly Candy® is their sweet, delicate scent – pleasant for us, and extremely attractive to butterflies and other pollinating insects. (We have written so many times about the joy of watching insects come to the garden that we will skip this aspect this time.)
Buddlejas Butterfly Candy® grow best and bloom most abundantly in sunny, sheltered places, in well-drained soil. They tolerate frosts down to about -18ºC.
And now a few words about colors:
- Little Ruby – with ruby-red flowers. The variety won the Gold Award KVBC Summer Challenge 2021 and a silver medal in the competition of plant novelties at the exhibition Green is Life in Warsaw 2022.
- Little Pink – with flowers in a sweet, pink color, won the Silver Award KVBC Summer Challenge 2021.
- Lila Sweetheart – a variety with large inflorescences, filled with lilac flowers with a yellow heart. She is the winner of the KVBC Summer Challenge 2021 Bronze Award.
- Little Lila with lilac flowers, also won the Bronze Award KVBC Summer Challenge 2021.
- Little Purple, with the darkest, intensely purple flowers, also gained recognition in the eyes of the jury and won the Bronze Award KVBC Summer Challenge 2021.
- Little White, is the last in the series, with pure white flowers (for the record, we will add that this variety also won the Bronze Award KVBC Summer Challenge 2021).
