A Dutch-bred cultivar, Buddleja davidii Border Beauty is a compact, fast-growing, deciduous shrub, wonderfully attractive to butterflies and bees. The long, lance-shaped leaves are mid- to deep green, and the young stems are a deep red. The deliciously scented, rich crimson-purple flowers have an orange ‘eye’, and are borne in dense panicles 8”/20cm long which almost cover the bush. Dead-heading will encourage flowering well into the autumn. Butterfly bush Border Beauty is a very good, adaptable, easy shrub, ideal for the back of the border, and can be cut back hard in early spring if necessary.
