The Story of the Development of the ROYAL RED BUDDLEIA 
In 1705, Adam Buddle, an early English explorer and botanist, discovered a plant of unusual 
beauty in the depths of tropical Africa. The plant created great interest in England where it 
was named Buddleia in honor of its discoverer. In later years a number of hardy species 
were found in China and Africa. Until recently the only hardy type for the United States 
had flowers of a lavender shade. For eight years we have endeavored to blend the beauty 
of the tropical species with the hardiness of the American types. We have been rewarded in 
Royal Red — the first hardy Butterfly Bush with dazzling red flowers. The work of American 
plant breeders has again given us a beautiful new hardy plant for the garden — one that will 
be the pride and joy of all who love to grow the best in flowers. Only once in a lifetime is a 
really outstanding new plant produced — we have such a plant in Royal Red. We cannot 
recommend it too highly.

CULTURAL DIRECTIONS Buddleia Royal Red should be planted in an open 
sunny position for best results. Being a plant of very 
rapid growth, it should be planted in good rich soil. If soil is not rich, add a little fertilizer 
each month during the growing season. Work the fertilizer thru the soil around the base of 
the plant. Water freely and often — Buddleias thrive best when given lots of water during 
the summer. For best results, cover the crown of the plants with a light mulch during the late 
fall. In the spring cut the plant back to about six inches above the soil. All flowers are 
produced on the new growth that is formed each year. The new branches grow very rapidly 
and you will be rewarded with an abundance of flowers. Remember, Royal Red is a very 
easy plant to grow — it will thrive practically anywhere and under any conditions — but 
for best results we recommend the above cultural directions.
