Buddleia White Profusion is a steady reliable bloomer of pure white flowers with a yellow eye. Buddleia White Profusion is commonly known as the Butterfly Bush. Buddleia White Profusion has tiny individual flowers are produced in profusion in long, dense trusses. In cooler zones, Buddleia White Profusions die back to the ground each year, sending up a dense group of new shoots in late spring that quickly develop into a 6 - 8 feet shrub. Buddleia White Profusion is lightly scented, Buddleia White Profusions are very attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. Buddleias bloom from June till frost.
Tip: Cut faded flowers off a Buddleia White Profusion butterfly bush regularly to keep it blooming throughout the summer. Buddleia White Profusion Butterfly bushes are hardy in Zones 5 - 9. If you live in a colder zone, the tops in your butterfly bushes will likely die back over the winter. Even so, they will come back the next growing season bigger and better then before. Butterfly bushes prefer full sun (they must receive eight or more hours of sun a day to thrive).
Our Buddleia White Profusion butterfly bushes are shipped in 4 inch containers. They are well rooted, trimmed once or twice, and most will bloom this summer! By next July, they should be 3 - 4 feet high and attract butterflies (and hummingbirds) like a magnet.
Buddleias can be planted in full/partial sun with 4 to 8 foot spacing. They generally look their best in groupings of 3 to 5 plants. Alkaline soil (pH 6.5 to 7.0) is usually preferred. Fertilize in spring/summer with a slow release fertilizer. Deadheading them will keep the plants blooming longer during the season. Buddleias can be cut back nearly to the ground in winter. As they age, you may find yourself with more of a shrub that can be merely pruned in winter. One of the most common problems that buddleias experience is spider mites, which can be handled with regular (monthly) spraying of a miticide. Check for spider mites by taking a piece of plain white paper and placing it under several of the branches/leaves, tap the higher branches. If you see tiny red/rust colored spots on the paper, the plant is infected.
