Sumptuous, rich cerise flowers smother Buddleja davidii Royal Red in late summer, infusing the air with a honey-like perfume. Butterflies and bees are intoxicated by the scent and adore Buddleja for the nectar-rich panicles of blooms, which is why these hardy shrubs are so often called the 'Butterfly Bush'. This stunning cultivar bears elegant, arching flower spikes up to an impressive 50cm long.Plant Buddleja davidii Royal Red in a sunny spot in well-drained soil where it can reach its maximum spread of 5m, and height of 3m - perhaps near the back of a large border.For its wildlife-friendly attributes, beauty, and fabulously reliable health, this Buddleja has earned a prestigious Award of Garden Merit from the RHS. Dark green lanceolate foliage is backed with a velvety, silver underside and looks attractive for most of the year. The leaves change to a wonderful shade of soft yellow in autumn before falling. Prune stems back hard to 3 or 4 buds in March as Buddleja bloom on new wood.
