Description
Buddleja hybrid | Butterfly Bush ‘Blueberry Cobbler’ (Buddleja ‘Honeycomb’ x (B. marrubiifolia × (B. davidii × B. crispa)
Blueberry Cobbler (also known as Podaras #4) is a complex interspecies hybrid and is a popular, confirmed sterile cultivar of the deciduous summer flowering shrub. Known for its sweet fragrance, it features showy panicles of periwinkle-blue to lavender flowers with which can at times fade to yellow with orange centers which are highly fragrant and attract a myriad of pollinators. And since it doesn’t set seed, it has a prolonged bloom period!
Once established, a mature plant can reach around 6-8 ft in height and 5-6 ft wide. For the best shape, look, and performance, we always recommend a hard-prune down to your knees in April. Come winter, we semi prune to reduce the plants height to prevent wind rocking of the plant/roots.
Plants grow best in full to part sun in well drained soils. Drought tolerant, but will drink plenty of water during the hottest months if watered regularly. Blooms and leaves may droop on extra hot days, even when watered, which is to say that this plant prefers cooler weather areas.
Since Buddleja ‘Blueberry Cobbler’ does not set seed, it is NOT invasive and is listed on the ‘Approved Buddleja Cultivars’ list for sale in WA and OR.
