The undersides of the wide, gray-green leaves are covered with white, woolly hairs on this tender med-sized shrub, but that doesn?t keep the butterflies from enjoying the long clusters of fragrant lilac-blue flowers. S/M

If you like Color Echoes (see books by C. Colston Burrell) plant it with Russian Sage. THE MOST FRAGRANT BUDDLEIA!
