Buddleia is known as the butterfly bush, because the shrub is often smothered with butterflies when in flower. Buddleja davidii Buzz Hot Raspberry is a compact, long-flowering, deciduous shrub, perfect for a patio container or at the front of a border in a small garden. The narrow elliptical leaves are an attractive grey-green. All summer long, masses of conical heads of hot raspberry-pink flowers are borne, providing a feast of nectar for pollinators. Buddleia Buzz Hot Raspberry is easy to grow; prune in early spring to keep it in shape.
