Buddleja (Latin: Buddleja) is a genus of spectacular, fast-growing flowering shrubs.

 Buddleja (Latin: Buddleja) is a genus of spectacular, fast-growing flowering shrubs in the Scrophulariaceae family, prized by gardeners for their abundant, long-lasting blooms and honeyed aroma. Due to its ability to attract a huge number of insects, this plant is often called a "butterfly magnet" or "autumn lilac." Key features of the plant: Long flowering period: most species bloom from July until late autumn. Inflorescences: large, conical panicles, reminiscent of lilac. Color palette: includes violet, purple, pink, white, blue, and lavender shades. High growth rate: in a single season, the shrub can reach 1.5–2.5 meters in height.

 Popular species: Buddleja davidii: the most popular species in landscape design. Blooms on the current year's shoots. In mid-latitudes, the aboveground portion of the plant usually freezes over in winter, but the bush quickly recovers from the root collar in spring. Buddleja alternifolia: a more frost-hardy species that blooms on previous year's growth in long, drooping garlands.

Buddleja Plant.

 A genus of plants from the Scrophulariaceae family. It received its name in honor of the British botanist Adam Buddle. As a rule, these are shrubs, although there are also tree-shaped species that reach a height of 30 m. In the wild, buddleia is found in America, East Asia and southern Africa, where it settles on forest edges, slopes and rocks, preferring rocky soils. 


 Buddleia is a shrub with a woody lower part and fast-growing shoots that end in inflorescences of small fragrant flowers. The leaves are elongated with a rounded or serrated edge on short petioles. The flowers are white, yellow, orange, pink or purple, small, in large panicles or capitate inflorescences.
