Butterfly Bush White Profusion

Butterfly Bush White Profusion, Buddleia davidii 'White Profusion', is a steady, reliable bloomer of pure white flowers that have a yellow eye. These tiny individual flowers are produced in profusion in long, dense trusses. It has soft silvery undersides on its leaves, which complement the white of the flowers. It is easily grown in average, medium, well drained soil in full sun. This Butterfly Bush becomes weedy and sparse, with diminished flowering performance, if not grown in full sun does poorly in wet conditions. White Profusion is a deciduous bush that blooms mid summer until fall. White Profusion provides valuable summer and early fall flowers when few other shrubs are in bloom. Best grown in massed plantings in borders, cottage gardens, rose gardens or butterfly gardens. Plant it near a path or patio and the shrub will provide a delightful fragrance for you, too. It's generally pest free. In cooler zones, White Profusion dies back to the ground each year, sending up a dense group of new shoots in late spring and quickly develops into a 6 to 8 foot shrub.
