Notes
A new variety of butterfly bush, which is much shorter and more compact than its cousins, Buddleia Little Purple is ideal for small gardens, edging pathways or planting in a container. The long spikes explode with tiny purple flowers from June to October, filling the air with its sweet, honey scent and attracting butterflies to its rich source of nectar.
