Buddleia Mini Marvel® Violet Waterfall™
Blooming Time
Exposure
Knee-high in height, Violet Waterfall™ is a stunning selection, with super-sized panicles that sprout out of the foliage at a 45-degree angle, but eventually cascade under the weight of hundreds of nectar-laden flowers. Perpetually in in bloom, Violet Waterfall™ continues to send out new buds even as earlier blossoms are fading, creating an ever-flowing procession of lavender-blue flowers that are abuzz with pollinators all summer long. A beautiful specimen plant as versatile as it is breathtaking, only requiring a bit of deadheading to clean up spent blooms.

Care
Watering:

Mini Marvel® Violet Waterfall™ Butterfly Bush should be pruned while dormant during late fall or winter.
