CranRazz™ Butterfly Bush

CranRazz™ is the hybrid butterfly bush ‘Boscranz’, producing cranberry-red flower panicles with yellow eyes above dark green leaves. Its upright habit and long flowering season suit a sunny focal point, shrub border, or patio container. The breeder reports bloom from spring into mid-fall and a typical shrub size of 5–6 feet high by about 5 feet wide. ## Cultivar and size The [Star® Roses and Plants profile](https://starrosesandplants.com/plants/cranrazz-buddleia/) identifies ‘Boscranz’ PP 25,730, describes dark green foliage and upright growth, and recommends full sun and zones 5–10. The cultivar’s [U.S. plant patent](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP25730) confirms the exact denomination and grant date of July 21, 2015. Its nursery-trial measurements describe a young container-grown plant rather than mature garden dimensions, so use the breeder’s typical landscape size when planning spacing. ## Siting Give the plant full sun and allow room for its mature canopy. Star Roses recommends containers, patios, decks, and focal-point plantings. Regular watering helps during establishment; once established, adjust watering to rainfall and soil drainage. ## Maintenance The breeder notes that dense branching needs little trimming. Prune selectively to maintain the desired outline and remove dead or damaged stems as needed. Avoid using the patent’s young nursery specimen measurements as a mature garden-size estimate.
