BUDDLEJA, commonly known in some parts as the butterfly bush, is a strong-growing, deciduous, flowering shrub producing large colourful cones of flowers in summer and autumn. Each flowerhead is made up of a number of tiny individual flowers that produce large quantities of nectar and so are popular with butterflies and other insects.
Buddlejas are tolerant shrubs, easy to grow and easy to prune. And while old varieties can produce a heavy crop of seeds that help the plants become invasive in mild areas, in recent years safe-to-plant modern varieties have been developed that produce no seeds at all.
