Description

‘Honeycomb Yellow’ is the best yellow butterfly bush on the market. In our gardens here in central Georgia it has out-performed every other yellow variety we’ve tried. Its yellow flowers are larger and more sweetly perfumed, and it continues to bloom much later in the season than other selections. The elongated flower clusters are unique in that the clusters occur in a pom pom like pattern along the length of the inflorescence. The foliage is an attractive silvery-green. The butterflies will thank you for planting this one!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 5 to 12 feet tall and 4 to 8 feet wide (depending on whether or not plants are cut back in late winter), the Honeycomb Butterfly Bush is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a hedge in flowering shrub borders or centerpiece or background in perennial gardens. A natural choice for butterfly and hummingbird gardens, yellow theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart for solid hedges; 10 feet apart or more for space between plants

How Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Butterfly Bush is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

‘Honeycomb Yellow’ Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained and of average fertility. It prefers full to mostly sun however we’ve found that in zones 8 and 9 it likes some afternoon shade or filtered sun. At least 6 hours of direct sun per day is suggested for best flowering. As with so many other plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause problems with the roots. Can be cut back to 12 to 18 inches above the ground in late winter or very early spring. Can also be deadheaded and pruned throughout the season for shaping purposes.

Quick delivery – very carefully packed – very healthy – and a beautiful plant! It’s been several weeks now, and our yellow butterfly bush is not only blooming, but thriving. Thanks so much!———————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the kind words and great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Had reservations about ordering online, most nurseries online are pathetic, the plants you receive are very substandard. Not Wilson Bros. these plants I have been ordering from them are outstanding. I have quit shopping at local nurseries. Their plants are not nearly the quality of Wilson’s. Super fast delivery, the plants do not even look like they have been shipped, lots of new growth, I put them in the ground and they just keep going. I am honestly amazed. I bought some Elaeagnus last month and they have grown six inches or more since I got them. These guys know what they are doing. Their prices are higher than some but I do not mind paying for quality, and free shipping… whats not to love. Thanks guys and keep up the good work we have lots of work to do.———————————-Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Years ago I had a huge yellow butterfly bush at a home we’ve since moved away from, and I never realized how rare they were until I tried to find more for our new property. These plants arrived green and vibrant and healthy, and I can’t wait to see the punch of color they add to my garden next summer!——————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

I haven’t seen this color of bloom. The plant was in good condition and it was a while before I was able to plant. It withstood several lights frosts without any effects on leaves. Believe it will be growing quickly once it warms up in spring.—————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Was notified once was in stock, which was greatly appreciated. Ordering process was great, again! Shipping was very fast, with the packaging being so efficient and careful not even a leaf was damaged. Packaging of their plants is second to NONE, as they really do over protect their plants, Thank You! Plus the plant was carefully wrapped at base with a moist cloth for added moisture during shipping. Plant arrived and was probably shocked to learn it had a new home in cold mid Michigan, from Georgia, anyway plant is doing great just like our purple butterfly bush, and our pink dog wood. Thanks so much. John Wilson. Hart, Michigan——————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them all for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

Thank you. I received my healthy butterfly bush today as I requested. Thanks to the shipping people!———————————–We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG 🙂

Many years back, I grew this Buddleia and loved it!
Now I have it again!! Your plant came healthy, and is rooting into its new home well. I’m looking forward to seeing it fully grown!!—————————————–We are so happy you are pleased with your purchase! Beth | WBG 🙂

My plant was doing so well ! Then several weeks of rain came and almost drowned it. I have since replanted and hope it will make it.—————————————Oh no, we can’t control the weather…I hope it recovers. I’m providing you with a link that may be helpful!

Can’t wait for it to bloom as I don’t have a yellow butterfly bush. Will look great with my purple ones. Delivered on time and very healthy plant.——————————We are so glad you are pleased! Beth |

As per usual my bush arrived in excellent shape. It’s been in the ground now for 2 weeks and is growing very rapidly. Amazingly enough it already has one yellow flower growing on it which, to me, is pretty exciting.. I’m going to love this bush.———————————————-Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG

Shipped well and arrived securely. Good size root ball and healthy looking plant. Seems to be adapting to its home in my garden. Eager to see it grow and produce yellow blossoms as I have never seen a yellow butterfly bush before finding it here on Wilson Bros.——————————Thanks for the great review! Beth | WBG

I ordered quite a few plants from Wilson Bros Gardens & although my timing was probably not the best due to shipping companies being overloaded right now, I am more than happy with my plants! Everything I ordered arrived packaged with extra caution, extra wet paper to hold in moisture & very secured in their boxes. Wilson Bros has contacted me a quite a few times to make sure everything arrived ok & that I was pleased. No other company that I have ordered plants from has been this kind. Here is a pic of my beautiful butterfly bush I will be planting soon ? Thank you Wilson Bros!!———————————–We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
