    Buddleia davidii ‘Hot Raspberry’

    Bring nonstop color and pollinators to your garden with this compact Butterfly Bush from the Buzz® series. ‘Hot Raspberry’ is covered from early summer through fall with 6–8" long spikes of vivid raspberry-pink blooms that butterflies, honeybees, and hummingbirds can’t resist.

    Naturally compact with a 2–3' spread, it’s perfect for smaller gardens, borders, and containers. Plant in full sun in well-drained (but not bone-dry) soil, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms right up until frost.

  • Growing Tips for Butterfly Bush ‘Buzz Hot Raspberry’ 🌸🦋

    Give your Butterfly Bush the right care, and it will reward you with months of blooms and pollinators.

    🌞 Sunlight

    • Plant in full sun – at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
    • More sun = more flowers and happier butterflies.

    🌱 Soil & Planting

    • Prefers well-drained soil – avoid spots where water sits after rain.
    • Works well in the ground or in a large container with drainage holes.
    • Mix in a little compost at planting time to help roots get established.

    💧 Watering

    • Water regularly the first season to help it root in. Keep soil evenly moist, not soggy.
    • Once established, it becomes fairly drought-tolerant and needs less frequent watering.
    • Always let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings.

    🌼 Blooming & Deadheading

    • ‘Hot Raspberry’ blooms from early summer to frost.
    • Snip off spent flower spikes (deadheading) to encourage new blooms all season long.
    • Remove any weak or broken stems to keep the plant looking neat.

    ✂️ Pruning

    • In late winter or very early spring, cut the plant back to about 12–18".
    • This encourages strong new growth and heavier flowering.

    ❄️ Hardiness & Winter Care

    • Hardy in Zones 5–9.
    • In colder areas, add a light layer of mulch around the base after the ground freezes to protect roots.
    • New growth will emerge from the base in spring.

    🌿 Spacing & Size

    • Compact habit, about 2–3' tall and wide.
    • Space plants about 2–3' apart so air can circulate and foliage stays healthy.

    🐝 Garden Benefits

    • Attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds 🦋🐝
    • Deer-resistant and easy to grow, even for beginners.
    • Fragrant blooms make lovely cut flowers for the home.

    Give ‘Hot Raspberry’ a sunny spot and a little care, and it will become a bright, pollinator-friendly highlight in your garden! 🌺🦋

  • What you can do with Butterfly Bush ‘Buzz Hot Raspberry’ once it’s growing in your garden 🌸🦋

    🌺 Make Pollinator Borders & Beds

    • Plant in mixed borders with perennials and ornamental grasses.
    • Use in sunny foundation plantings for color near the house.

    🌸 Cut Flowers for the House

    • Pair with other drought-tolerant, deer-resistant plants for a low-maintenance bed.
    • Ideal for busy gardeners who still want a beautiful, high-impact plant.

    • Plant it as part of a pollinator or wildlife-friendly garden.
    • Combine with herbs and perennials that bees love (like lavender, oregano, and thyme).
    • Great choice for anyone who wants to support bees and butterflies 🐝🦋
