Bring big late-season color to small spaces with Buddleia davidii 'Butterfly Candy(R) Li'l Lavender(TM)'. You get a compact, deciduous butterfly bush that flowers on new growth and keeps sending up fragrant lavender-purple blooms that pollinators notice.

Plant it where you can enjoy the traffic: near a patio, along a sunny walkway, or in mixed borders and containers. The neat habit typically finishes about 24-36 inches tall, with a similar spread, so it fits without overwhelming nearby perennials.

For best performance, give your plant full sun; it will also handle part shade, though flowering is heaviest with more light. Provide well-drained soil and water regularly the first season; once established it is fairly drought tolerant, but it looks and blooms best with occasional deep watering during extended heat.

Prune in early spring to shape and encourage vigorous new shoots, since flowers form on current-season growth. Removing spent flower spikes can help keep the plant tidy and may encourage more bloom. In colder areas it may die back in winter and resprout in spring.

Butterfly bush can self-sow in some regions; choose placement thoughtfully and follow local guidance if Buddleja is restricted where you garden.
