A New Generation of Butterfly Bushes

Part of the innovative Butterfly Candy® series, the Li’l Lavender™ Butterfly Bush was bred for beauty and performance in a smaller form. Its tidy growth habit stays around 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, making it ideal for gardeners who want vibrant color in limited spaces. This variety inherits the classic appeal of Buddleia davidii while offering improved heat tolerance, stronger flower production, and a more compact size. Whether you are filling a pollinator garden or accenting a container display, Li’l Lavender™ delivers consistent charm and dependable blooms season after season.

Care Guide for Li’l Lavender™ Butterfly Bush

This hardy shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, rewarding your care with abundant, continuous flowers. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a healthy root system. Once established, the plant becomes drought tolerant and requires little upkeep. A light pruning in early spring before new growth appears encourages fuller branching and more blossoms. Adding a layer of mulch around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, while an annual feeding in spring with a balanced fertilizer supports vigorous growth.
