Lo & Behold Buddleias.
Proven Winners Buddleias Are The Perfect Shrubs For Your Garden
|
|
|
---|---|---|
UsesLo & Behold Buddleias are butterfly and hummingbird magnets! They bloom early with sweet-scented flowers that last throughout the entire summer. This series of buddleias is uniquely compact, making it easy to fit into any garden or planter with little maintenance. Each buddleia ships in a 4.5 in. quart, 1 gallon and 3 gallon container. The larger the size, the more mature the plant. |
CarePlanting buddleias early in the season gives them plenty of time to become established before winter so they can return year after year. As long as temperatures are above freezing when you receive a buddleia, you can plant it in soil, then add Proven Winners Time Release Fertilizer to feed the plant all season. Once established in the landscape, they only need a little extra water in dry conditions. In containers, they need slightly more water. |
QualityLo & Behold Buddleias are raised by expert growers in Proven Winners greenhouses in southeast Michigan. Proven Winners is a nationally-recognized, established plant brand. Its plants are unsurpassed in terms of flowering, growth and garden performance. |
Simple Tips for Growing Lo & Behold Buddleias
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Improved Butterfly BushAs small and non-invasive, Lo & Behold Buddleias can be planted with confidence. They work well as borders, fillers, ground covers and in planters. They love sun and grow best in 6 or more hours of sunlight a day. With enough sun, they will produce plenty of blooms for butterflies and hummingbirds to enjoy. |
Reblooming BuddleiaAs they bloom and rebloom, Lo & Behold Buddleias clean themselves so that there is no need to remove old flowers. For best results, prune by cutting back stems after the shrub leafs out in spring but before it flowers in early summer. Avoid fall pruning and planting to keep the plant strong for winter. |
Hardiness ZonesTo learn whether buddleias will tolerate conditions where you live, search for your hardiness zone through The United States Department of Agriculture. Buddleias grows well in hardiness zones 5-9. The absolute hottest zone in the country is 13 and the coldest is 1. |
DormancyAs a deciduous shrub, buddleias need to go dormant in order to preform well the following season. They will drop their leaves in the fall and grow new foliage in the spring. Buddleias ship from Michigan, where they are dormant November-March. If you order during winter, store your buddleia in a cool place and keep the soil slightly moist until you can plant it in spring. |

It’s got a lot of growing to do if it’s going to flower this year.
Bought from Amazon when I compared identical brand item at big box store. Saved time driving, shopping, and gas.
