Photo - Butterfly Bush (Buddleja davidii)

This wonderful perennial comes in various colors from pink to purple to white.  The regular Butterfly Bush can reach 8' tall & 8' wide.  The dwarf varieties are about half that size.  Both butterflies and hummingbirds love this plant.  The Butterfly Bush looks best if you cut it down to about 2 feet tall in the winter.
