Buddleja, also known as the Butterfly Bush, are colourful, wildlife-friendly flowering shrubs loved for their long, fragrant flower spikes that bloom from July to September. Their nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators in abundance, filling the garden with movement and life all summer long.
These fast-growing, easy-care shrubs thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, producing continuous flowers in shades of purple, pink, white, and blue. Once established, they’re drought-tolerant and low-maintenance — just prune back in spring to keep them compact and blooming beautifully year after year.
Popular varieties include Buddleja davidii ‘Black Knight’, ‘Pink Delight’, and ‘White Profusion’, all known for their rich colour and strong fragrance. Whether planted as a statement shrub or in mixed borders, Buddleja adds vibrant colour, wildlife appeal, and a true sense of summer to every garden.
