Bring bold, butterfly-attracting beauty to your garden with ‘Miss Molly’ Butterfly Bush — one of the most vibrant, richly colored Buddleias available today. This Proven Winners® selection stands out for its extraordinary blooms in deep, red tones with a hint of magenta noticeably richer than traditional purple or pink varieties. From midsummer through fall, the dense flower spikes create a stunning display that draws hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators in abundance.
Compact and well-behaved, ‘Miss Molly’ typically matures to about 4–5 feet tall and wide, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, sunny garden beds, or containers. Unlike older Buddleia varieties, it’s non-invasive and bred for stronger bloom performance even in heat and humidity. With its elegant habit and long-lasting color, ‘Miss Molly’ adds a striking focal point wherever it is planted.
Care Instructions-
Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, ‘Miss Molly’ is drought tolerant and prefers slightly dry conditions between watering's.
-
Pruning: In early spring, prune back to about 12 inches from the base to encourage vigorous new growth and abundant flowering. Remove spent blooms during summer to extend the reblooming period.
-
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, our 18-5-10 slow-release fertilizer in spring as new growth emerges. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which promotes leaf growth at the expense of blooms.
-
Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from the crown to prevent rot.
With minimal care and maximum reward, ‘Miss Molly’ Buddleia brings unmatched, vivid color and pollinator excitement to your garden season after season.
