Buddleia ‘Violet Cascade’ (Butterfly Bush, Summer Lilac)
Buddleia ‘Violet Cascade’ delivers a spectacular late-season display of rich, violet-purple blooms on gracefully arching panicles. A member of the beloved Cascade Series, this variety shares the same flowing form and exceptional performance as its companions, but with deeper, more dramatic flower color. Over four years of trials, ‘Violet Cascade’ has shown no seed set, making it an eco-friendly, sterile option for pollinator gardens.

Blooming from mid to late summer into fall, this hardy shrub provides vibrant color and sweet fragrance when many other plants have finished flowering. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates drought once established, and attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds by the dozens. Perfect for borders, pollinator gardens, and landscape plantings that need a splash of late-season color and texture.

Why It’s a Creekside Champion™:
We love ‘Violet Cascade’ for its elegant, arching form and richly colored blooms that arrive just when the garden needs fresh energy. Its late-season performance, pollinator appeal, and effortless reliability make it a standout shrub that brings both beauty and movement to sunny landscapes.
