Quackin Grass Nursery

Buddleia alternifolia - A big, fast growing wild-haired shrub with lots of branches, many decumbent, pointing towards the ground creating a large, soft mound. Purple axillary flower clusters erupt up and down stems making extra-long ropes of solid or nearly solid purple strands. Alternate-leaved Butterfly Bush is undeniably fantastic in bloom. Stems are cloaked in glabrous, lanceolate leaves providing a delicate appearance. Originates in Kansu, China. Three-quarters to full sun in fertile, draining soil. If pruning is desired then accomplish this soon after flowering so that new stems will develop and harden-off in time for winter. Those new stems will carry next year's flowers. This will make a terrific filler shrub as part of a screen, a component of a hedgerow or backdrop in a larger perennial garden. And as the common moniker suggests the butterflies will like it, too. Established potted Alternate-leaved Butterfly Bush from cutting.
