Butterfly Bushes Miss Ruby

#3 gallon pot.

Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush (Buddleia) is a beautiful, compact flowering shrub known for its brilliant, rich pink flowers with striking reddish centers that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds throughout summer. Its fragrant flower spikes contrast beautifully with soft, silvery-green foliage, providing vibrant seasonal color. Growing approximately 4–5 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, it maintains a dense, rounded growth habit.

Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, it is drought tolerant once established and highly pollinator-friendly. Ideal for mixed borders, foundation plantings, and sunny garden beds.

Maintenance Tip: Water regularly during establishment, then during prolonged dry periods. Cut back in spring once new growth begins to encourage vigorous branching and abundant blooms. Remove spent flowers to encourage continued flowering and maintain a neat appearance.
