Plant description
The honey-scented flowers of this new (and still quite rare) butterfly bush are really long (up to 50cm), and they are pendent, so hang wisteria-like from the branches. A relatively compact form, it can be grown in a large patio pot, but it also looks great (and will help attract loads of butterflies) in a mixed border or when used to create an informal screen.

How to care for Buddleja davidii Wisteria Lane (PBR):

Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
