Butterfly Bush ‘Chrysalis White’ (Buddleja ‘Chrysalis White’). The Buddleia 'Chrysalis White' brightens outdoor spaces with its clusters of vibrant, lightly fragrant white flowers. Being ultra-compact, it is ideal for planters, narrow flowerbeds, or container gardens. Its continuous bloom attracts butterflies and pollinators throughout the summer. Low-maintenance, it thrives easily in well-drained soil and full sun, bringing a touch of purity and lightness to the garden. The indicated mature size is 60 to 80 cm (24 to 31 inches) in height and 0.6 m (2 feet) in width.

To plant the 'Chrysalis White' butterfly bush, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting and ensure water can drain after planting. During establishment, check soil moisture by hand before watering again. Distribute mulch around the base, leaving the crown clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering soil richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the ground is thawed and easy to work with.

Allow a width of 0.6 m (2 feet) to plan this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 60 to 80 cm (24 to 31 inches) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Pair this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Potted roots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
