Buddleia Sungold

Cascading globes of fragrant, yellow-orange flowers make Buddleja x weyeriana Sungold a unique and vibrant alternative to traditional purple Butterfly Bushes. Arriving in dense, rounded ball-like clusters from mid-Summer through to early Autumn, the honey-scented blooms are an irresistible magnet for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies. Fine grey-green foliage creates a handsome backdrop for the unusual yellow floral globes on arching, vigorous stems. Fast-growing and remarkably resilient, this deciduous shrub adds structure, warm Summer colour, and high ecological value to sunny borders and wildlife gardens..
