The butterflies will love you! This mix gives you Butterfly Bushes in many shades of three glorious colors: white, lilac, or pink. Each is very floriferous and fragrant, and it is so easy and economical to grow this shrubby perennial from seed instead of buying plants.
From summer to fall, these plants bear huge foot-long trusses so laden with blooms that they bend outwards from the tall, well-branched 6- to 8-foot plants. Butterflies arrive in droves to sip the nectar, adding their own magnificent color to your garden. The aroma is heavenlyno wonder they are called "Summer Lilac!"
A snap to grow from seed, buddleia's only problem is knowing when to stop! Left unpruned, it will reach 14 feet tall, but since it flowers only on new wood, you'll want to cut it back to about 10 inches from the ground each spring before the new growth begins.
These Butterfly Bushes may even bloom the first year from seed, and they will be shooting up, lush and free-flowering, the second season and every year thereafter. What great performers for the sunny garden!

An easy-to-grow source of summer-to-fall color with quick growth, it is ideal as a hedge, screen, or specimen. Buddleia is deciduous and shrub-like, growing up to 14 feet tall. Tapered bloom spikes, up to 12 inches long, arise from summer into fall in shades of white, lilac, pink, red, or yellow, sometimes bicolored. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds love the sweet honey scent of the blooms. Dark green foliage, 8 inches long, is lance-shaped and coarse with a felted underside

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
