Orange-eye
Buddleja davidii
Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) is a vigorous, easy-to-grow flowering shrub renowned for its long panicles of fragrant flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators throughout summer. Plant in a sunny position in well-drained soil and cut back hard in early spring to promote the best flowering display. Note that it can self-seed prolifically and is considered invasive in some regions, so deadhead spent blooms promptly.
