This compact butterfly bush makes it a good choice for small spaces and for symmetrical plantings in garden beds and walkways. Gold drop features chartreuse golden foliage with purple panicles. It is a plant of contrast and makes a bold statement in any garden. We’ve grown members of the humdinger collection for a few years now and it is a favorite due to its consistent full yet compact nature, profuse flowering and resistance to cold weather. The Humdinger® collection consists of compact bushes that pack the maximum punch. They bloom weeks earlier than most other buddleia and maximize blooms over a small area. This small to medium sized upright selection of butterfly bush is sure to capture the hearts of pollinators and plant enthusiasts everywhere. The butterfly bush is a staple of many gardens due to its fast growth rate, hardiness, and prolific blooms. Arriving in late summer, the bottle shaped blooms of this buddleia are 6-8 inches in length. Butterfly bushes are named such because they are a bounty for pollinators attracting hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and other pollinators to their sweet-scented blooms.
