Buddleia, Queen of Hearts is a butterfly bush cultivar which features vibrant magenta red flowers. Large, cone-shaped panicles 9-12” long are produced from top of the plant to the bottom. It is a shrub with short, compact, rather rounded habit which grows 3-4’ tall. Flowers are slightly fragrant. Buddleia is commonly known as butterfly bush, a deciduous shrub native to China. It typically grows to 6-12’ tall with a spread to 4-15’ wide when not killed back by cold winter temperatures. It is noted for its bushy habit, arching stems, showy, fragrant flowers and vigorous growth. Spike-like flower clusters bloom from early summer to first frost. Flowers are mildly fragrant, and very attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and bees.
