Buddleja alternifolia bears extended panicles of aromatic blooms that attract pollinating insects with their sweet scent. Soft lilac flowers are produced from July to September & contrast spectacularly with the swathes of slender grey-green foliage. This robust Butterfly Bush species is native to China & has been awarded an RHS AGM for its garden performance. The bushy growth & arching branches are easily trained as a small tree or standard with a little bit of effort. Buddleja alternifolia is an outstanding choice for wildlife areas & sunny borders. Height & spread: 400cm (157).
