Buddleia davidii - Butterfly Bush


This large arching shrub grows fast and shows off long panicles of fragrant blooms in the summer. This is a tough plant with many colors to choose from and blooms throughout the summer months. I think it looks best planted in mass or mixed into a perennial border. I particularly like the blue-green foliage but the flowers are the main attraction.
Native to China.
