Product Description

Buddleja davidii 'Santana'

FEATURES

They set off the purple-red flower panicles nicely from late summer well into fall.

Butterfly Bushes have certainly earned their place in the garden over the years, and its easy to see why. Just when we need a breath of fresh air in the late summer heat, they happily burst into bloom. At a time when many other plants are already spent, buddleias are just beginning their show. Their passive coloring and texture makes a wonderful backdrop for perennials, and you'll love the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds that flock to their honey-scented blossoms.

Plant was discovered as a naturally-occuring branch mutation of Buddleja davidii 'Royal Red' back in 2001. For a beautiful hedge or driveway plant both Santana Butterfly Bush & it's parent Royal Red Butterfly Bush together.
