Black Knight Butterfly Bush - Buddleia davidii
Wellspring Premium Series
+ Free Shipping
Swarms of butterflies and bees introduced us to this bush. We had to get a closer look to see what the hubbub was all about. That’s when we officially met the butterfly bush with its cone-shaped, deep purple flower spikes shouting out a warm welcome to pollinators. Now available as a premium 3/4-QT size, the Black Knight butterfly bush can be a welcome mat for your butterfly garden, too. Hummingbirds also love Buddleia (Buddleja) davidii. Numerous colors are available these days, but blues and purples are the original natives. Black Knight boasts dark purple blooms.
- Average mature height: 5-10 feet
- Light: Full sun for optimal blooming
- Soil: Well-drained, medium moist
- Zones: 5-9
Introducing Premium & Supreme plants
We're expanding our product lineup with plants that need more space than our classic 2/3-cup pot allows.
Premium Plants come in a 3/4-quart pot and Supreme Plants come in a 3/4-gallon pot.
New Premium & Supreme Plants will release each Friday.

Your plants are packed with the utmost care, but shipping can be stressful on the little guys.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?
The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
