Everde Growers believes “Royal Red” is one of the best Butterfly Bush varieties valued for its vigor heavy flowering habit and intense deeply colored wine-red flowers. Nice deep green foliage. Summer-blooming Buddleia should be pruned every third year in mid-spring. Wait until the new foliage begins to show; then cut back main stems and thin crossed branches to two-thirds or half their original height. Attracts butterflies. Sun to partial shade.
