Buddleja Black Knight
Butterfly Bush
Common Name: Black Knight Butterfly Bush Latin Name: Buddleja davidii ‘Black Knight’Soil: Fertile, well-drained soilPosition: Full sunFlowering period/colour: July- SeptemberHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 3m x 5mSpecial features: The darkest of all the buddlejas. Large panicles of tiny purple flowers that have a sweet honey scent. The ‘Black Knight’ butterfly bush is an extremely popular choice as it produces the most wonderful display of deep purple flowers in summer. The delicate flowers are densely packed on the flower spikes and the deep purple petals have yellow centres. 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. These bushes are so popular with gardeners because of their great appeal to wildlife, and butterflies in particular favor these bushes due to the sweet scent of the flowers. The ‘Black Knight’ looks particularly effective when planted alongside lighter coloured buddleias so that the colours can truly stand out against each other.

Buddleja Petite Lavender
Butterfly Bush
Common Name: Butterfly Bush Latin Name: Buddleja 'Petite Lavender' Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil Position: Full sun Flowering period/colour: June - September/ Lavender blue Hardiness: Fully hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.7m/ 0.6m Special features: A compact Buddleja with lilac flowers. As the name suggests, the 'Petite Lavender' maintains a compact form and is well-suited to a smaller space in the garden, or a pot on a sunny patio. 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. Plant this with another compact Buddleja, like the 'Hot Raspberry', for contrasting floral colours or plant it alongside a shrub with brighter foliage, like the Spiraea japonica 'Golden Princess'.
