This scent is very strong in mid-summer and swarms of butterflies (and bees) will irresistibly follow the source of this scent. Buddleia White Profusion will adapt to loamy, dry soil that retains average moisture and soil that is well-drained. They will thrive in plentiful sun and withhold plenty of attention to your garden. Plant White Profusion in pool area, lawn or patio area. Once established, this plant needs low maintenance and is easy to grow. In autumn, the pointed leaves of White Profusion will gently fade but only to nurture again and create a mighty floral display for your guests. Attracting butterflies and bumblebees is its most recognized characteristic, thus suitable for a wildlife garden.
