Buddleja – Butterfly Bushes

Buddleja (Butterfly Bushes) are evergreen or deciduous shrubs with gracefully arching branches, studded with lance-shaped leaves and sweetly scented, elongated flower panicles. Blooming from mid-summer through early fall and sometimes to the first frost, the eye-catching flowers are favored by butterflies and provide late summer to fall flowers when few other shrubs are in bloom. Excellent for cutting, some cultivars are perfect for small gardens and containers.
