Buddleja or Butterfly Bushes

Are beautiful shrubs and all gardens should have at least one. They can be evergreen or deciduous shrubs. The long, heavy flowering heads transform the bush and make a stunning display which attracts clouds of butterflies.

Where to Site Your Buddleja

If you opt for the tall varieties then we would suggest plating these towards to the back of the border against a nice sunny wall or as a stand-alone variety. You can also now get nice compact dwarf varieties which are ideal for the font / middle of the border or pot plants
