Plant Finder
Buddleia Davidii has a prime place in butterfly gardens, and it is particularly adept at attracting tiger swallowtails. But it also attracts hummingbirds, making it a must-have for hummingbird gardens, too. And don't forget the bees: Buddleia davidii will also attract the bees that will pollinate other plants in your garden.
