Description
A long time favorite of ours, and the hummingbirds and butterflies, Black Knight is a tall-growing Buddleia that produces elongated clusters of fragrant, deep purple (almost black) flowers from June all the way to frost. The flower clusters appear at the ends of long and arching branches on plants that grow 8 to 10 feet tall by 4 to 5 feet wide. The willow-like, grayish green leaves are a wonderful contrast and backdrop for the flowers. Great for use in perennial gardens and and outdoor living spaces where the butterflies and hummingbirds that flock to the plant can be viewed as they feast on the honey-scented flowers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 foot tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge or background in landscape and perennial borders. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, purple theme gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing:  3 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings;  7′ or more apart for space between plants
How To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area
How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?
Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Butterfly Bush variety is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Knight Butterfly Bush thrives in full to mostly sun and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained. Plants are quite drought tolerant when established and deer don’t like them! Very easy to grow!

I ordered 2 butterfly bushes. They were well packaged and are already blooming. I love the color and can’t wait to see them bloom years from now! Great quality and I would purchase from this garden again!————————————Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG
I ordered quite a few plants from Wilson Bros Gardens & although my timing was probably not the best due to shipping companies being overloaded right now, I am more than happy with my plants! Everything I ordered arrived packaged with extra caution, extra wet paper to hold in moisture & very secured in their boxes. Wilson Bros has contacted me a quite a few times to make sure everything arrived ok & that I was pleased. No other company that I have ordered plants from has been this kind. Here is a pic of my beautiful black knight that I will be planting soon ? Thank you Wilson Bros!!———————–We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
