(Buddleia) An upright blooming shrub that can get tall at 4′-6′.  Grow it in full sun for best performance. Keep it in bloom longer by deadheading spent flowers.  As the name suggests, butterflies love this source of late season nectar.  And the blooms are gorgeous!  It will die to the ground in Winter so acts more like an herbaceous perennial. Zone 5

Varieties:

Chrysalis Cranberry, Buzz Midnight and other Asst Colors
