Buddleia davidii

Buddleia, Buddleia davidii, is from China. It is very attractive to many butterfly species, including “Large White”, “Comma”, “Red Admiral”, “Peacock”, “Small Tortoiseshell” and “Painted Lady”. It also attracts some other insects, but very few bees. It is a fast growing bush and, if kept low, will also attract other butterfly species that prefer to forage near the ground.
