Protected Series: MONARCH
Zone: 5MONARCH® PRINCE CHARMING BUTTERFLY BUSH
Buddleia davidii 'Prince Charming', a standout in the MONARCH® series, is a sophisticated, medium-sized shrub that brings a wonderful pop of color to the late summer landscape. Its vibrant, raspberry-pink panicles - often reaching ten inches in length - are not only striking to the eye but also possess a delightful honey-scented fragrance that acts as a magnet for butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
With a tidy, upright habit and silvery-green, lance-shaped foliage, 'Prince Charming' serves as an excellent specimen plant or a reliable filler for perennial borders, offering a prolonged bloom window that extends well into the autumn months. For the best results, 'Prince Charming' demands a full-sun location, ideally receiving at least six to eight hours of direct light daily to fuel its prolific flowering. It thrives in well-drained soil, as it is particularly sensitive to "wet feet," which can lead to root issues during the dormant season; in heavier soils, planting slightly high to encourage runoff is a professional best practice. While it is moderately drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture during the peak of summer will maximize bloom size and plant vigor.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, as this genus is particularly sensitive to root rot in water-logged conditions. Select a site with full sun, as maximum light exposure is critical for strong stem development and consistent flower production. Prune in early spring to remove dead wood and stimulate vigorous new growth, which ensures the plant remains compact and floriferous. Water regularly during the first growing season until established and consider deadheading throughout the summer to encourage a secondary flush of blooms.
