Buddleia (6 Quart)

🌼 Butterfly Candy® Lil’ Coconut Buddleia
A sweet little shrub with a big heart for home, butterflies, and front porch conversations.

There’s something about a white bloom that feels like home—like a lace-trimmed curtain blowing in the breeze or Grandma’s embroidered tablecloth laid out for Sunday supper. The Butterfly Candy® Lil’ Coconut Buddleia brings that kind of peace and beauty into your garden. Small in size but mighty in charm, this dwarf butterfly bush draws in butterflies, hummingbirds, and compliments alike.

Tuck it into your front yard by the mailbox, plant it by the picket fence, or let it shine in a pot on the porch—it’s a gentle reminder that even the littlest things can bring the most joy.

🌿 A Plant with Roots—In More Ways Than One
Named after the English botanist Rev. Adam Buddle, the buddleia has long been a symbol of renewal and transformation. It’s been a quiet star in cottage gardens for generations, passed down from neighbor to neighbor, admired for how it turns an ordinary patch of earth into a pollinator’s paradise. Today’s Lil’ Coconut variety was bred with the modern family in mind—compact, easy to care for, and full of the same heart as the classics.

💛 What It Means to Grow One
In the language of flowers, buddleia speaks to new beginnings and gentle transformation. It’s the perfect gift for someone starting a new chapter—or for planting in your own yard as a reminder that growth can be sweet, slow, and full of grace.
