Plant Profile: Buddleja Lo & Behold® 'Purple Haze'

Buddleja 'Purple Haze' is a compact, dwarf butterfly bush that gracefully extends its branches close to the ground. Its vibrant flowers make a striking appearance in late summer, providing a burst of color when many other plants have finished blooming. This variety can be treated as a perennial; it can be pruned back to the ground in late winter or early spring after the risk of frost has passed, allowing for rapid regrowth. With proper maintenance, it can thrive in your garden for up to 20 years.

Featuring a medium texture, 'Purple Haze' harmonizes beautifully with coarser trees and shrubs in the landscape. It is versatile enough to be planted in groups or displayed in pots and containers on patios. This plant is adaptable to a range of soil types and pH levels, as well as tolerant of salt and urban environments.

Blooming continuously from summer through fall, once established, 'Purple Haze' requires minimal watering. Additionally, this variety does not produce unwanted seedlings, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
