Buddleja (Buddleia) davidii 'Wisteria Lane'

A new variety of Buddleja davidii, also known as Butterfly Bush, 'Wisteria Lane' is a stunning addition to any garden. Its hanging pendant panicles of scented lavender flower heads bloom from July to August, with a small yellow throat adding to the overall effect. This medium-sized shrub is perfect for a mixed border and is highly attractive to bees and butterflies.

With a height of up to 1.5m and a spread that can easily be maintained to the same size, this deciduous shrub has lance-shaped grey-green foliage and produces beautiful lavender-blue flowers in late summer. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, loam, chalk, or clay soil and can be planted in a full sun to partial shade position.

Hardy to H6 (-15), Buddleja davidii 'Wisteria Lane' requires minimal care.

Buddleja's are not only beautiful, but they are also extremely beneficial to insects. This makes them a valuable addition to any garden. While they are often seen as large plants, there are many different species and varieties that offer a variety of flower types, colours, and sizes. In mid to late summer, the flowers are covered with butterflies, and the yellow varieties are particularly attractive to beneficial insects. This adds a whole new level of interest to the garden and makes it a joy to relax and admire the Buddleja in full bloom.
