Buddleja lindleyana or the Butterfly Bush is an attractive evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub that produces arching canes of nodding, tapered spikes of pretty, plae mauve flowers.
This is a plant that is good for gentle summer colour, while the flowers are conical in shape, very fragrant, nectar rich and will attract butterflies and bees to your garden.
This shrub will go well in just about any soil type, though it does need full sun to perform to its best.
Good drainage is also very important and it can withstand light frosts.
A perfect addition to any cottage style or informal garden design.
