Buddleja davidii BUTTERFLY CANDY® LILA SWEETHEART

Cultivar denomination: 'BotEx 002' PBR

The variety is characterized by lavender flowers with a distinct yellow center and small size. The shrub is easily compacted, has a nice, regular, rounded habit, grows not more than 0.8 m in height and width. The leaves are narrow, lanceolate, green. The numerous flowers have a light, sweet scent which makes them attractive to pollinating insects. Thanks to its small size, it can be used as a ground cover in mass public plantings, as well as in home gardens and in containers kept on balconies, terraces and patios. As it blooms on annual growth, it requires strong pruning in the spring.  Grows best in a sunny position, sheltered from the wind.  Prefers permeable, fertile and sufficiently moist soil.

Hardiness zone: 6b -20/-18 °C
