    Buddleia x weyeriana Golden Glow

    Transform your garden into a pollinator paradise with this colorful new butterfly bush, featuring gorgeous 6–8" long, bright yellow flower spikes. From early summer all the way through fall, butterflies, honeybees, and hummingbirds flock to these striking blooms for their rich nectar, bringing your garden to life with movement and color.

    Golden Glow reaches a mature height of 4–6 feet, creating a vibrant focal point in borders, beds, or pollinator gardens. It thrives in well-drained (but not dry) soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for sunny spots that need a burst of long-lasting color. Simply deadhead the spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the summer and into fall.

    Add Golden Glow to your garden for months of bright, cheerful color and a steady stream of visiting pollinators—you’ll enjoy both the beauty of the blooms and the wildlife they attract.

  • Here are easy-to-follow growing tips for Butterfly Bush ‘Golden Glow’ 🌼🦋

    🌞 Light

    • 🌤️ Full sun is best – aim for at least 6 hours of direct sun per day.
    • Plants in too much shade get leggy and produce fewer flowers.

    🌱 Soil

    • 🌿 Prefers well-draining soil – soggy roots can cause rot.
    • Tolerates poor or average soil, doesn’t need to be rich.
    • 👍 Slightly alkaline to neutral soil is ideal, but it’s very adaptable.

    💧 Watering

    • 💦 Water regularly the first year to help roots establish.
    • Once established, it’s fairly drought-tolerant.
    • Let the top few inches of soil dry out between waterings.
    • Avoid constantly wet soil – no standing water.

    🍽️ Fertilizer

    • 🧪 Doesn’t need heavy feeding.
    • In spring, you can add:

      A light balanced, slow-release fertilizer, or
      A thin layer of compost around the base.

    • Too much fertilizer = more leaves, fewer blooms.

    ✂️ Pruning

    • ✂️ In late winter or very early spring, cut stems back to about 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) from the ground.
    • Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems.
    • Regularly deadhead spent flowers through the season to:

      Encourage more blooms
      Reduce unwanted self-seeding

    🌼 Blooming

    • ‘Golden Glow’ is known for bright yellow flowers that attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. 🦋🐝
    • Blooms from summer into fall with good sun and light pruning.

    🧊 Cold & Heat

    • ❄️ Hardy in many temperate zones (often around USDA 5–9, check your local zone).
    • In colder climates:

      Mulch lightly around the base in late fall to protect roots.

    • In very hot climates:

      Make sure it has adequate water during heat waves.

    📏 Spacing & Placement

    • ‘Golden Glow’ can grow 3–6 ft tall and wide (varies by climate and care).
    • Plant 3–6 ft apart from other shrubs for good airflow.
    • Great for:

      Sunny borders
      Pollinator gardens
      Back of the flower bed as a bright focal point

    🐛 Pests & Problems

    • Generally low-maintenance and resistant.
    • Watch for:

      🐜 Aphids
      🕷️ Spider mites (usually in hot, dry conditions)

    • Treat mild issues with strong water spray or insecticidal soap if needed.

    🌱 Invasiveness Check

    • Some butterfly bushes can be invasive in certain regions.
    • ✅ Check your local guidelines:

      Some areas recommend deadheading to prevent seed spread.
      Some have approved sterile or low-seed varieties.

    ✅ Quick Care Checklist

    • 🌞 Full sun
    • 🌱 Well-draining soil
    • 💧 Regular water first year, then moderate
    • ✂️ Hard prune in late winter/early spring
    • 🌼 Deadhead for more blooms
    • 🔍 Check local rules about butterfly bush planting

  • Here are simple ideas for how to use Butterfly Bush ‘Golden Glow’ in the garden 🌼🦋

    🌼 1. Focal point plant

    • 🌟 Plant one ‘Golden Glow’ as a centerpiece in a sunny bed.
    • Surround it with lower plants so its flowers stand out.
    • Great near patios, decks, or seating areas where you can watch butterflies.

    🦋 2. Pollinator magnet

    • Plant near other bee + butterfly favorites:

      🌸 Coneflower
      🌿 Russian sage
      🌼 Coreopsis
      🌺 Salvia

    • This creates a pollinator buffet and keeps butterflies in your garden longer.

    🌈 3. Color contrast

    • Pair ‘Golden Glow’ with purple, blue, or deep red flowers so the yellow really pops:

      💜 Lavender
      💜 Catmint
      💜 Buddleia in purple

    • Use it to brighten up a border or corner that looks dull.

    🌳 4. Mixed shrub border

    • Mix with other flowering shrubs:

      🌹 Roses
      🌺 Hydrangeas (in sun)
      🌿 Spirea

    • Plant ‘Golden Glow’ toward the middle or back of the border.
    • This gives your garden height, color, and texture through summer and fall.

    🚪 5. Entrance or walkway accent

    • Plant one on each side of an entry or path:

      Front walkway 🚶
      Garden gate 🚪

    • Guests walk through butterflies and blooms on their way in.

    🪟 6. View from windows

    • Place ‘Golden Glow’ where you can see it from inside:

      Kitchen window 🪟
      Living room window

    • You’ll enjoy butterflies and color even when you’re indoors.

    🪴 7. Background for shorter flowers

    • Use it as a backdrop in a flower bed.
    • Plant shorter perennials and annuals in front:

      🌼 Marigolds
      🌸 Zinnias
      🌷 Dwarf dahlias

    • This creates layers so the garden looks full and lush.

    🌻 8. Late-season color

    • ‘Golden Glow’ blooms summer into fall, so it’s great for:

      Filling gaps when spring flowers are done
      Keeping the garden colorful later in the season

    • Combine with other late bloomers like asters and sedum.

    🌱 9. Wildlife-friendly corner

    • Use it in a wildlife or “messy” corner of the yard:

      Add native grasses 🌾
      Add seed-bearing plants for birds 🐦

    • This creates a small habitat area that still looks pretty.

    🧺 10. Cutting garden accent

    • While butterfly bush flowers don’t last as long in a vase as some others, you can:

      Cut a few stems for casual, wild-looking bouquets
      Mix with sturdier blooms like sunflowers or zinnias 🌻

    🧭 Simple placement tips

    • ✅ Put in full sun spots you want to highlight
    • ✅ Use as a tall accent behind lower plants
    • ✅ Plant near outdoor seating to enjoy butterflies
    • ✅ Group 3 together for a bigger color impact
