Buddlejas are Best for Butterflies


There are so many plants we can pick to grow in our gardens that sometimes it's hard to choose. Buddleja is one of the easiest shrubs to grow. It is very rewarding in terms of flower production in late summer. There are other benefits too .Each flower spike is actually made up of hundreds of tiny tubular flowers. Bees, butterflies and many other pollinating insects go mad for them. On a warm sunny September day you'll see butterflies clustering around Buddleja bushes to feed.

So if you want to attract beneficial insects to your garden then Buddleja is Best!

I've already mentioned that growing Buddleja plants is easy. But what about taking cuttings? If you know someone with a beautiful Buddleja in their garden then ask them for a few cuttings when their plant has finished flowering. Click this link to show you how. Success with Cuttings
