Royal Red | Buddleja davidii
€3.50Price
The 'Royal Red' Butterfly bush is a large deciduous shrub with arching branches of lance-shaped leaves, whitish beneath, and long panicles of rich purple-red, scented flowers.
Clusters of fragrant, red/purple flowers, which are very attractive to butterflies, top the gently arching branches from midsummer.
This butterfly bush produces some of the largest blooms currently available, and if the shrub is pruned hard each spring, the honey-scented flowerspikes can grow up to an impressive 50cm long.
The mid- to grey-green leaves will turn butter-yellow in autumn before they fall, and this coupled with the showy flowers, makes it a fine specimen for a sunny position.
