Buddleja davidii, or Butterfly Bush, is a large, vigorous, fast-growing, deciduous shrub with bushy habit and arching stems. Its leaves are long, lance-shaped, green or grey-green with greyish, felted undersides. Mildly-fragrant flowers in various shades of purple, with orange-yellow centres, are clustered in cone-shaped panicles. Very attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Buddleja davidii is easily grown. It prefers moist, well-drained soils in full sun. It tolerates partial shade but it becomes weedy and sparse, with much less flowers. It is resistant to drought, generally pest-free and disease-free. Low maintenance and slightly salt tolerant. May die to the ground in cold winters but emerge again in spring. Considered to be invasive. Buddleja davidii is best grown in informal, cottage, and wildlife gardens. It is perfect for a foundation shrub, an accent plant, or as a background in beds and borders.
