BUDDLEIA — BUTTERFLY BUSH 
The buddleias are very attractive shrubs, producing a profusion of blooms from 
midsummer until frost. The flowers resemble small lilacs and are borne on long, 
graceful, drooping branches. Butterflies are attracted to the plants when in bloom, 
which adds greatly to their interest. The tops of the plants freeze back in winter, 
but many new shoots appear in the spring that begin to bloom in midsummer. The 
base of the plants should be given a covering of leaves in the fall and the tops cut 
back in spring after new growth begins. All dead wood should be removed..
