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.

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.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
