Golden Butterflybush
Golden butterflybush is a hybrid of Buddleja davidii and B. globosa but retains the orange-yellow flower color of the latter species. It has glossy deep green foliage on gently arching branches. The flowers are borne in clusters from summer to autumn and removing spent flowers will encourage continued blooming.
A drought tolerant plant when established, golden butterflybush should be grown in full sun for best results. Attractive to butterflies and bees, the interesting flower color makes it a good addition to the mixed border or cutting garden.
