Think all Buddleia look the same? Think again! Unlike the typical Butterfly Bush, the panicles on this flowering shrub cascade downward, similar to the look of weeping willow or a bridalwreath spirea. Learn more about the Cascade Series with our trials manager, Laura Robles.

On June 1, Andrew Jager talked about the Baptisia varieties blooming in our display gardens now. Baptisia is easy to grow and will thrive with little maintenance. There are many potential applications in the landscape including meadow plantings, as a backdrop in borders, or as a specimen.
Native perennials are trending, and Bluestar is the classic North American perennial! This easy care, heat and humidity tolerant, deer resistant perennial is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for low maintenance or native perennials. Join Andrew Jager to learn about common Amsonia types and varieties.
Spigelia is underutilized in the landscape due to limited availability, but it's poised to make an explosion in popularity. Why? It's a very versatile perennial-it grows naturally in either sun or shade. This perennial can be found growing in the wild in woodlands and along streambanks throughout the Eastern United States. It's wildly popular among wildflower enthusiasts and highly sought after. Andrew Jager explains the differences between the Spigelia varieties that we offer.
Shasta Daisies are all-time favorites for the perennial border. The cheery flowers begin to appear in early summer and continue on for several months if faithfully deadheaded. Shastas mix so effortlessly with other perennials that no garden should be without them! Learn more about Shasta Daisies with our Marketing Manager, Andrew Jager. Hardy in zones 5-9!
Butterfly Bushes have certainly earned their place in the garden over the years, and its easy to see why. Just when we need a breath of fresh air in the late summer heat, they happily burst into bloom. At a time when many other plants are already spent, buddleias are just beginning their show. Their passive coloring and texture makes a wonderful backdrop for perennials, and you'll love the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds that flock to their honey-scented blossoms.
Join Andrew Jager, our Marketing Manager, to learn more about the Cascade, HUMDINGER®, and MONARCH® collections of Buddleia.
Hardy in zones 5-10!
