Description

Buddleia x Color Choice ‘Summer Skies’ is a standout variegated butterfly bush renowned for its striking cream-and-blue foliage and elongated, fragrant violet-purple flower panicles that bloom continuously from midsummer to frost. Developed within the ColorChoice® flowering shrub program, this cultivar was selected for its exceptional visual contrast—its bold variegation holding strong through summer heat—and its vigorous, pollinator-attracting performance in the landscape. ‘Summer Skies’ is valued for its ability to bring multi-season interest, perfume, and pollinator activity to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and butterfly habitats, where its nectar-rich blooms are highly favored by butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.

Bold, stable variegated foliage with creamy margins and blue-green centers for season-long visual impact
Produces long, fragrant violet-purple flower panicles continuously from midsummer to frost
Highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, offering strong pollinator value
