The Butterfly Candy™ Li’l Magenta™ Butterfly Bush brings a burst of striking purple to your garden in a size that’s easy to love. Reaching only 2–3 feet tall and wide, this compact shrub is tailor-made for small spaces, containers, or sunny borders. From late spring through fall, it covers itself in clusters of fragrant, purple flowers that attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Why we love it:

  • The deep purple blooms add a sweet splash of color all season long.

  • Its compact habit makes it perfect for containers and small-space gardening.

  • A true pollinator magnet, it invites butterflies and hummingbirds daily.

  • Once established, it’s water-wise and deer resistant, combining beauty with resilience.

Easy care tips: Plant in full sun, water deeply at planting, and mulch lightly (keeping mulch away from the stem). Give it a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring, and prune back before the first flush of new growth. With just a little care, Li’l Magenta™ rewards you with months of color and fragrance.
