No. Buddleia species, including the Flutterby Petite® series, are native to Asia, and Blue Heaven is a cultivated hybrid developed for compact size and non-invasiveness. While it is marketed as sterile and non-invasive, it is still considered a non-native ornamental and does not provide the same ecological value as native shrubs.
‘Blue Heaven’ is part of the Flutterby Petite® series, bred to be compact, sterile (non-seeding), and low-maintenance. It features lavender-blue flower spikes and fine-textured green foliage, growing only 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for small gardens, containers, and borders.
This butterfly bush thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9, and requires minimal care, aside from cutting it back in early spring to encourage fresh growth and abundant blooms.
Yes, with some limitations. While its flowers attract adult butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, it does not serve as a host plant for native caterpillars. For true pollinator habitat, it’s best paired with native plants that support the full insect life cycle.
Yes. Butterfly bush is generally deer- and rabbit-resistant and is very low-maintenance. Its sterile nature prevents reseeding, which makes it a better landscape choice than older, invasive varieties of Buddleia. Prune annually to maintain shape and encourage heavy blooming.
