Butterfly bushes in winter will lose their leaves and die back to the ground in colder areas as a deciduous shrubs. In warmer climates, the tree may keep the green leaves but not grow as robust and quick as during the active growing season. It grows in an arching growth habit and can spread slightly in the area it is planted in but it is not considered an invasive plant.

Buddleia Nanho Purple has bright purple flowers that are long and conical shaped and lush silvery green leaves that contrast the flower heads nicely. The gray-green foliage and flower spikes will shoot up on long shoots that go well above the shrub’s rounded and bushy shape.

The Nanho Purple Butterfly Bush size is up to 3-5 feet tall and wide at full maturity and is fast growing. It will perform best in full sun and well-draining soil. It can tolerate partial sun to partial shade but foliage may become sparse.
Grow the Buddleia Butterfly Bush across the United States in USDA hardiness zones 5-9. In northern climate zones like 5 and 6 with colder winters, the deciduous shrub can die down to the ground in winter months in the manner of an herbaceous perennial. Do not fret – the cold-hardy root systems will stay intact and flush out in early spring. A thick layer of mulch around the root zone will help protect the roots and retain moisture through the winter temperatures.
Butterfly bush pruning will benefit the plant after the flowering period ends to help shape the shrub to your desired size. The blue-green leaves can take a heavy shearing. Do not prune once spring has arrived to avoid cutting off new flower buds. The best time of the year to prune is in winter or early spring.

Hey Eileen, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on our Nanho Purple Butterfly Bush. Although we are saddened by the news of the rough time it had in it's delivery, we are happy that it survived and that it seems to have recovered from the shock. Best, Shirley
United StatesVery Impressed!
I am a first-time buyer, but this will not be my last purchase from Perfect Plants. Their name is fitting! My plants arrived in gorgeous condition, even with blooms on them. Packaging is exceptional, and the soil was still moist when everything arrived. The butterfly bush is in its new garden home, and we cannot wait for it to fill out. I'm sure it will be amazing at its full growth because it had such a fantastic start. I'm very pleased!

United StatesBeautiful!!
A drought is keeping me from planting for a few days but oh my goodness!!!! First time ordering from Perfect Plants and I'm amazed at how this butterfly bush showed up. Perfectly packed, moist soil, even gorgeous blooms! Here's a picture right out of the box where it had been sitting all day. Definitely wasn't expecting the plant to be so vibrant after a long hot trip to the west side of a parched and dry Arkansas. Perfect Plants for the win!
