General Information:
Bred by Elizabeth Keep of East Malling, England these Butterfly bushes have been bred to be full, loaded with flowers and top out at 4-5'. Suitable for containers, they are fragrant and colorful. Buddleia davidii cannot be shipped to Oregon. Flowers form on current season's growth.

Plant Care:
Cut back heavily in spring (especially in the north) for best flowering. Containers will, of course, need winter protection in the colder zones.
