Known as the butterfly bush, Buddleja davidii bears conical, nectar-rich flowers, which attract butterflies and bees in late summer. Flowers come in a variety of colours including purple, blue, pink and white. Plants are easy to grow and thrive in almost any situation, but will attract more butterflies and bees if grown in full sun.

Buddleja davidii ‘Buzz Sky Blue’ is part of the Buzz series of buddleias. Plants are compact and easy to grow, and bear masses of deep-blue flowers in late summer. ‘Buzz Sky Blue’ is perfect for growing in containers on a sunny patio, but also works well planted in a mixed, herbaceous border.
