Buddleja davidii

Commonly known as the Butterfly Bush, white Buddleja (or Buddleja davidii) is a vigorous, deciduous shrub celebrated for its elegant, arching habit and prolific summer blooms. From midsummer through early autumn, it produces large, tapered panicles (flower clusters) packed with tiny, hone
Typically reaches 6 to 10 feet in height and spread, though compact dwarf cultivars (like ‘Pugster White’ or ‘White Ball’) stay under 3 feet. Its willow-like, lance-shaped leaves have a soft, grayish-green underside that creates a beautiful silvery contrast in the breeze.
True to its name, the nectar-rich flowers are an absolute magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Thrives in full sun and exceptionally well-drained soil. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and handles urban pollution well.
Blooms on new wood, so it benefits from a hard pruning down to a low framework in early spring to encourage dense growth and larger flower spikes.
Note: Depending on your region, Buddleja davidii can be a vigorous self-seeder. If invasiveness is a concern in your area, look for modern, certified seedless (sterile) white hybrids.
