Buddleja Davidii Empire Blue is a delightfully showy variety of Buddleja with gracefully arching stems covered in elegant lance shaped emerald green leaves that turn golden in autumn before falling. The main attraction of this variety is its abundance of glamorous, headily scented vibrant violet-blue flowers with tiny golden centres on upright panicles that appear in summer and flower all the way through to autumn. You can further prolong the flowering period by deadheading throughout the summer. You will find bees and butterflies can’t get enough of the Davidii Empire Blue Buddleja – hence it being known as the ’Butterfly bush’! This was one of the first varieties that became commercially available in the late 1800’s and remains a popular gardeners favourite throughout the country today.
