Buddleja davidii ‘Santana’

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. It's easy to grow and thrive in almost any situation.

Buddleja davidii ‘Santana’ has unusual, lance-shaped variegated leaves, and bears wine-red flowers from July to September. To encourage later flowering (which benefits garden butterflies such as the small tortoiseshell), cut plants back to the base in May.
