The first Buddleia to offer different colors on one panicle. Fragrant lavender, butterscotch yellow and orange blooms blended together to form a striking color display. Makes a wonderful backdrop for lower growing perennials and shrubs. The butterflies obviously love this buddleia too! |

Early spring, as new growth begins. |

In northern climates Buddleias behave like herbaceous perennials with the top growth dying back in winter. Prune back to new growth in the spring. In southern climates, prune to shape. |
