About This Plant

Buddleja 'Asian Moon' (Butterfly Bush), 'Asian Moon', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.

Buddleja 'Asian Moon' is an ornamental shrub valued for its seasonal interest and the role it plays in the garden landscape.

Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Provide consistent moisture during establishment. Watch for general pest pressures common to the region.

Care Notes

Plant in well-drained, lean to average soil; avoid rich or consistently moist conditions. Cut back hard to 6-12 inches in late winter or early spring, as new wood produces all the season's growth. Deadhead spent spikes regularly to encourage reblooming through fall. Only sterile cultivars like Lo and Behold are legal in Oregon; confirm sterility before planting near natural areas. Watch for spider mite in dry summers; rinse foliage with water or treat with insecticidal soap at first sign.
