This Buddleia is a summer dream for your garden and for any moths, butterflies and hummingbirds in your neighborhood as long, stem ending cones of small, fragrant, lavender-pink flowers emerge in mid July and continue blooming right through August. ‘Lucy’s Dream’ was named in memory of Lucy, a young girl who lost her life to cancer who loved the flowers in her mother’s garden especially in summer. What an appropriate plant to bear her name since it is a ferocious, persistent bloomer that attracts as much color as it shows. Like all Buddleia, ‘Lucy’s Dream’ is so easy to grow wanting only full sun and great drainage to thrive. Hard spring pruning before leaves emerge will rejuvenate this plant yearly and allow for outstanding bloom each summer.
