Buddleia Chrysalis™ ‘Cranberry’ — Butterfly Bush
Buddleia Chrysalis™ ‘Cranberry’ is a compact, fast-flowering butterfly bush that brings intense, deep cranberry-red color to the garden all season long. Its fragrant flower spikes bloom continuously from early summer into fall, attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds in abundance. With a naturally small, tidy habit, the Chrysalis™ series is perfect for containers, patio plantings, and smaller landscapes where larger Buddleias won’t fit. Heat tolerant, drought tolerant, and low maintenance, it delivers bold color with minimal effort.
