Common Name:
Buddleja davidii ‘Nanho Blue’

Description:
Buddleja davidii ‘Nanho Blue’ is a graceful, compact butterfly bush known for its arching branches covered in clusters of fragrant, soft lavender-blue flower spikes from summer through autumn. This deciduous to semi-evergreen shrub is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its narrow, silvery-green foliage adds a delicate texture, complementing its airy, elegant form.

This low-maintenance shrub thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a position in full sun to encourage maximum flowering. It is drought-tolerant once established and benefits from regular pruning to promote a dense, bushy growth habit and continuous blooming. Ideal for mixed garden borders, cottage gardens, and large containers, ‘Nanho Blue’ provides a soft yet striking splash of colour in any landscape.
