Grow a late-summer showstopper with Buddleia davidii 'Monarch® 'Prince Charming'. This compact butterfly bush is valued for its jewel-toned cerise to raspberry-pink flower spikes and its sweet, honey-like fragrance that brings life to the garden when many plants start to slow down. You will see pollinators quickly discover it, with butterflies and hummingbirds visiting the blooms repeatedly throughout the season.

Place it where it can soak up plenty of light for the best flower display. Full sun is ideal, and it can also perform in part shade, especially in hotter climates or in spots with bright afternoon shade. The plant typically matures in the 48-60 inch range in height, forming a dense, upright shrub that fits well in mixed borders, pollinator beds, and patio plantings where you want strong color and reliable summer-to-fall bloom.

Give it well-drained soil and water regularly as it establishes. After the roots settle in, it can handle periods with less water, but it will look and flower best with even moisture during extended heat and drought. Removing spent flower spikes can encourage a tidier look and may extend the bloom show. Each year, pruning back in late winter or early spring helps keep the plant compact and encourages fresh, vigorous new growth for flowering.

Use this butterfly bush as a bold focal point, or plant it in groups for an eye-catching swath of color. Its saturated blooms pair well with ornamental grasses and other sun-loving shrubs and perennials, giving you a long season of color and the added bonus of wildlife activity in your yard.
