Description
Buddleja davidii ‘Adonis Blue’ is a compact, free-flowering butterfly bush producing dense panicles of rich violet-blue flowers throughout summer and into early autumn. Renowned for its intense colour and strong honeyed fragrance, this variety is a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
Smaller and more manageable than traditional Buddlejas, ‘Adonis Blue’ is ideal for borders, containers, and smaller gardens, delivering long-lasting colour without overwhelming the space. Its grey-green foliage provides an attractive backdrop to the flowers and adds texture even when not in bloom.
Fast-growing, hardy, and easy to maintain, this Buddleja responds well to annual pruning and rewards gardeners with months of vibrant colour. Supplied in a 2-litre pot, it is well established and ready to perform in its first season.
