Buddleja davidii Black Knight - Buddleia - Butterfly Bush

Buddleja davidii ‘Black Knight’, commonly known as Butterfly Bush, is a dramatic and much-loved deciduous shrub prized for its long, arching panicles of rich, deep purple flowers with orange eyes. Blooming from mid-summer to early autumn, the heavily scented blooms are a magnet for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making it a must-have in wildlife gardens.

With its vigorous growth and elegant arching habit, ‘Black Knight’ is perfect for the back of borders, cottage garden schemes, or as a striking standalone feature. The grey-green foliage contrasts beautifully with the dark flower spikes, creating a bold and sophisticated look.

Easy to grow and low-maintenance, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. For the best flowering, prune back hard in early spring to encourage fresh growth. Pair with ornamental grasses, rudbeckias, or echinacea for a vibrant, late-summer display full of movement, texture, and colour. A true garden classic that offers both beauty and biodiversity.

Supplied in 10 litre containers.
