This buddleja is compact and has an extremely long flowering period. The fragrant lilac flowers appear in early summer through to autumn and are very attractive to butterflies. Though this shrub is fast-growing it will stay compact, reaching only about 1m tall, making it perfect for smaller gardens and pots.
