Buddleia davidii 'Miss Ruby'
Choose Miss Ruby Butterfly Bush if you want strong summer color and pollinator activity in a sunny bed; the tradeoff is that it needs seasonal cutback and won’t give you evergreen structure.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The ruby-pink bloom color carries well in a sunny bed without needing a large shrub. |
| Growth Rate | A | It grows quickly, which helps a new planting look filled-in sooner. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on a hard spring cutback and some deadheading if you want the tidiest rebloom. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It stays more manageable than older butterfly bushes but still needs room to spread naturally. |
| Screening Value | D | It is deciduous and open in winter, so it should not be counted on for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Miss Ruby for sunny, informal plantings where flower color and pollinator draw matter more than winter structure.
| Mature Height | 4.5 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 4.5 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 4.5 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, arching, vase-shaped |
Yes, that is the main reason to plant it.
Yes, prune it hard in spring once new growth starts.
Not well; use it as a flowering shrub, not a privacy plant.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
