Plant Needs

The Butterfly Candy™ Li’l Raspberry™ Butterfly Bush adds a bold pop of color to your garden in a delightfully compact size. Reaching only 2–3 feet tall and wide, this petite shrub is perfect for containers, sunny borders, or small gardens where space is limited but beauty is desired. From late spring through fall, it bursts with clusters of fragrant, ruby-red flowers that butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds can’t resist.

Why we love it:

  • Rich ruby-red blooms that stand out beautifully in the garden.

  • Compact habit makes it perfect for containers, patios, or tight garden spots.

  • A true pollinator favorite, bringing butterflies and hummingbirds all season.

  • Water-wise and deer resistant, combining color with resilience.

Easy care tips: Plant in full sun, water deeply at planting, and mulch lightly around the base (keeping mulch away from the stem). Prune in early spring before new growth appears, and feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to keep it blooming from spring to frost.
