    PP 19,991 A truly dwarf Buddleja producing loads of fragrant blue spikes on a low mounding plant that only grows to 2-1/2'! Of 107 Butterfly Bushes on trial at Wisley Gardens this was the #2 vote getter. An excellent addition to the perennial or shrub border and is great for butterflies too! Another great introduction from JC Raulston's breeding program. Buddlejas are considered invasive in some regions please check with your local state offices before purchasing.
