Buddleja Summer Bird Series 180MM

Buddleja davidii Summer Bird Series

I am Buddleja Summer Bird Series. My family originated from China.

Habit Shrub - Butterfly attracting
Plant family Scrophulariaceae
I am a range of very low growing Buddleja with massive fragrant butterfly and beneficial insect attracting blooms in shades of blue, white, pink or mauve. I develop an even rounded form without pruning but do best when cut back hard at the start of the growing season (spring). My small size and good form suit me to being grown in containers, in borders, for general garden planting or as a colourful low hedge.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
