Add Long-Lasting White Blooms and Pollinator Power with the Li’l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush
Li’l Coconut Butterfly Bush is a Compact, Cold-Hardy Beauty with Endless Blooms
The Li’l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush is a delightful member of the Butterfly Candy® Collection, an improved series of dwarf butterfly bushes bred for abundant blooms, exceptional cold tolerance, and compact growth. With its creamy-white flower clusters and lush green foliage, this miniature marvel brings a bright, elegant touch to pollinator gardens, borders, and containers, all while attracting clouds of butterflies and beneficial insects from spring through fall.
A Compact Twist on a Garden Classic
Derived from years of careful breeding, the Li’l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush was developed to capture the charm of traditional Buddleias in a more manageable, urban-friendly form. Its tidy, rounded habit which reaches about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, makes it perfect for patios, small landscapes, and decorative planters. Despite its smaller size, it maintains the same irresistible appeal to pollinators as its larger relatives, producing dense clusters of fragrant, pure-white blossoms with soft orange throats that glow against stunning deep green leaves. These flowers continuously rebloom from early summer into fall, ensuring months of creamy color and pollinator activity in your outdoor space.
Li’l Coconut Butterfly Bush is Reliably Low Maintenance
Like all members of the Butterfly Candy® series, the Li’l Coconut™ Butterfly Bush is remarkably easy to care for. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, performing best when given plenty of light and warmth. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant, needing only occasional watering during extended dry spells. Pruning in early spring encourages dense new growth and maximizes flower production. Hardy from USDA Zones 5–10, this compact shrub withstands both heat and cold, even surviving winter temperatures as low as -20° Fahrenheit.
Li’l Coconut Butterfly Bush Features
This butterfly bush combines ornamental beauty with exceptional function.

Whether in a decorative container or as part of a pollinator-friendly garden bed, this dwarf Buddleia ensures effortless elegance year after year.
