High Five Buddleja 180MM

Buddleja davidii 'High Five'

I am High Five Buddleja. My family originated from China.

Habit Shrub - Long flowering window

Plant family Scrophulariaceae

I am a hard to ignore dwarf buddleja with masses of large mauve/purple scented flowers during the warmer months. I am a magnet for butterflies and other insects and have the common name "Butterfly Bush". My small stature suits me to growing in pots or being planted in the garden where my stunning blooms will attract the attention of people and insects alike. I make a great cut flower so my colour can be enjoyed indoors.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
