Butterfly Bush 'Monarch® 'Glass Slippers' (Buddleia davidii) gives you a compact, low-and-wide butterfly bush look with silvery-green foliage and long flower spikes that read periwinkle to blue-purple as they age. You will notice the sweet fragrance in bloom, and the nectar-rich flowers draw in butterflies and hummingbirds when many other shrubs are past their peak.

Plant it where it gets full sun for the best flowering, though it can tolerate part shade. Give it well-drained soil and avoid sites that stay cold and wet in winter. Once established it can handle occasional dryness, but it performs best with consistent moisture during heat and drought.

This variety flowers on new wood, so you can prune in early spring to shape and refresh the plant (in colder areas it may die back and still rebound strongly). Remove spent flower heads to encourage continued bloom and keep the plant looking tidy. Mature size for this selection is typically about 24-36 inches tall with a broader spread, making it easy to use in beds and borders.
