Pink Delight Butterfly Bush Care Information

This flowering beauty is resistant to rabbits and deer. Plus, it has no serious pests or diseases.  

Buddleia davidii Pink Delight grows best in USDA hardiness zones 5 through 9. It also tolerates heat and drought conditions.  

This spectacular butterfly bush enjoys fun in the sun. Give it at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Water Pink Delight Buddleia weekly or as needed. If the plant is housed in a container, is young and first establishing, or if your area is experiencing extreme heat, it’s a good idea to water it more often.

This compact grower quickly reaches a height of 6 to 8 feet and can spread from 4 to 6 feet wide. If it is not cut back every year, it can easily reach 6 to 15 feet tall in warmer climates. Space this shrub 3 feet apart to form a continuous hedge or 7 feet apart for a visual distinction between plants. 

Plant Pink Delight Buddleia in well-draining variable soil. It can be fertilized with all-purpose plant food. It also prefers soil with a pH of 5.5 to 8.5. Mulch well around the base of this plant to protect its roots, especially in colder regions. 

For colder climates, this deciduous shrub does best when cut back near the ground in late winter. Winter pruning will help encourage new flower growth in spring, as fresh blooms only grow on new wood. 

Additionally, feel free to deadhead spent flowers through the summer months to encourage regular reblooming through the season.
