Buddleja CranRazz

Common Name:
Butterfly Bush 'CranRazz'

Description:
Buddleja 'CranRazz' is a deciduous shrub renowned for its vibrant cranberry-red flower spikes that bloom from early summer through to autumn. These fragrant, 20 cm long panicles attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, adding dynamic movement and colour to the garden. The plant exhibits a dense, upright growth habit with lush green foliage, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and landscape plantings. In Melbourne's temperate climate, 'CranRazz' thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting drought and heat tolerance once established. Minimal maintenance is required, with deadheading unnecessary, and pruning recommended in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. Its long blooming period and compact size make it a valuable addition to gardens seeking continuous colour and pollinator attraction.
