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.

Buddleja Hot Raspberry
Butterfly Bush
Common Name: Butterfly Bush Latin Name: Buddleja buzz ‘Hot Raspberry’ Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: June - September/ Bright pink Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.6m/ 0.6m Special features: A dwarf variety of Buddleja that can be grown in a pot. The ‘Hot Raspberry’ is a wonderfully compact Buddleja which features striking magenta-coloured flowers that last for months over summer and into autumn. 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 foliage is another great feature of the ‘Lochinch’ as the leaves are semi-evergreen so they will hold on the bush in milder winters. The foliage is densely packed onto the branches and the lanceolate leaves are grey-green in colour with silvery undersides. This is a great choice for planting in a sunny border and it can even be kept in a large pot.
