Buddleja davidii, commonly known as butterfly bush, is a fast-growing flowering shrub prized for its long, fragrant flower spikes that bloom in shades of purple, pink, white, blue, and red. Blooming from summer through fall, it attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, borders, and specimen plantings.
