Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

"Royal Red' is a lovely, smaller-scale buddleia, growing to about 4 to 5 feet tall and wide. It has large panicles of fragrant, magenta-purple flowers that bloom from June until September, sometimes even to the first frost. Attracts bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies; not so tasty to deer. Its smaller size make it easy to fit into the perennial, shrub, or foundation border.
