These delightful shrubs get their common name of ‘butterfly bush’ due to the fact that the flower spikes are irresistible to butterflies – as well as a whole other host of wildlife. The flower spikes are densely packed with tiny flower heads and the flowers have a distinctively sweet scent; many people plant buddleja bushes in a sensory garden – often near a seating area – so that their fragrance can be enjoyed. Buddleja bushes offer months of floral interest as they usually flower from July to September.
The bushes themselves come in a range of shapes and sizes. If you are short of space then you may want to consider planting a 'buzz' variety as these remain relatively compact and they can even be kept in a pot.

The narrow leaves are deep green in colour and have slivery undersides to them; the foliage makes the perfect foil for the sweetly scented flowers, and the leaves turn to yellow come autumn.

The ‘Black Knight’ looks particularly effective when planted alongside lighter coloured buddleias so that the colours can truly stand out against each other.

Buddleja davidii Moonshine
Butterfly Bush
Common Name: Butterfly Bush Latin Name: Buddleja davidii ‘Moonshine’ Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: June - September/ Purple Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 1.5m/0.9m Special features: Bright green foliage and long-lasting flowers. This Buddleja is different to most of its kind as it boasts bright lime green-yellow foliage, which really catches your eye, and is the perfect accent colour for planting next to other Buddlejas that have darker leaves. From June to September the leaves are accompanied by a profuse floral display of deep purple flowers that are held in conical clusters. The flowers carry a sweet scent, which makes them very attractive to bees and butterflies; this also makes the ‘Moonshine’ a great choice for a sensory garden. This shrub grows to have a fairly upright habit and it works well in a sunny bed or border. We love alternating it with the darker Buddleja davidii ‘Adonis Blue Adokeep’ as the accenting colours of the two plants work really well together.

The flowers are surrounded by the finely pointed green leaves and some leaves have purple splashes on them, which adds further interest. As the common name suggests, this is a fantastic choice for attracting wildlife to your garden – especially butterflies and bees. With this variety being in the 'Buzz' series, you can get all the benefits of having a beautiful Buddleja in your garden without having to compromise planting space; a 'Buzz' Buddleja can be planted in a pot on a sunny patio. We love this in a pot on its own as a specimen, but you can also plant it in a sunny bed or border: it looks great alongside a contrasting ‘Buzz’ variety, like the Buddleja buzz 'Ivory', as the creamy flowers contrast perfectly with the vivid magenta tones of the ‘Hot Raspberry’.

The 'Petite Dark Pink' is a wonderfully compact Buddleja which will add a splash of colour to a sunny spot in the garden. Dark pink-purple flowers open from magenta buds in summer and last into autumn, giving long-lasting floral interest: the flowers are held in conical clusters on long stems which reach out above the foliage. Slender, pointed, dark-green leaves that are slightly serrated at the edge make the perfect foil for the flowers. The flowers are lightly scented, making this a great choice for sensory planting, and due to its dwarf form you can plant this buddleja in a large pot if you wish. We love planting it alongside another scented plant, like the Perovskia atriplicifolia 'Lacey Blue', but it will also work well when planted alongside another compact Buddleja.

The flowers of this Buddleja are lavender-coloured and they grow in conical clusters from elongated stems, often reaching out above the main body of foliage. The slender leaves are grey-green in colour and make the perfect foil for the flowers. As with all Buddlejas, this is a fantastic choice for attracting wildlife to your garden - particularly butterflies and bees. This bush will form a dense mound and, with it being a dwarf form, it can be planted in a small space.
