About the
Butterfly Bush - Honeycomb :
The Butterfly Bush 'Honeycomb', Buddleia
'Honeycomb', is a beautiful yellowing
flowering variety of butterfly bush. This
bush flowers summer and fall and is easy to
grow. With a name like Butterfly Bush you
might expect a plant to be attractive to
butterflies. In fact, it's more than
attractive; it's a magnet for all the
butterflies that pass through your garden
seeking nectar.
This deciduous bush blooms mid-summer to
early fall. Butterflies and bees will flock
to the honey-scented blossoms, whose dilute
nectar is sweetest in midday sun. Plant it
near a path or patio and the shrub will
provide a delightful fragrance for you, too.
It's generally pest-free. This plant blooms
on new growth and should be pruned back to
the ground in spring
