Description
Buddleia davidii 'Moonshine' is a modestly-sized bush that stands out for its spring foliage of dark yellow, turning lime green in summer. This hardy shrub also has abundant, charming, deep pink, fragrant flowers in summer that attract butterflies. It is very decorative and doesn't take up much space, it will easily finds a place in a small flowerbed or a pot on the terrace.
Buddleia davidii 'Moonshine' 'Buddma' is a recent horticultural creation. This variety was discovered in Ederveen, Netherlands, by Pieter van Manen in 2006. It is a well-branched bush with fairly rapid growth, reaching a size of about 1.50 m in all directions. This Buddleia develops deciduous leaves that are opposite on the branches and have an oval shape, measuring between 8 and 12 cm long. They are dark yellow when they appear in spring, over time they become slightly greener but remain much lighter compared to those of classic varieties. The particularly abundant flowering takes place from July to September in the form of upright spike-like, nectar-rich flowers measuring 15 to 20 cm in length, with a pleasant honey-like scent that attracts many butterflies. Their colour is a mix of deep pink and rosy violet.
Buddleia davidii 'Moonshine' can be used in shrub beds, low hedges, or pots. It pairs well with white-flowered potentillas such as 'Abbotswood' or 'White Lady'. You can also plant Cerastium or Sedum acre 'Yellow Queen' in front of it.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
