Buddleja davidii ‘Black Knight’ (Butterfly Bush)

Buddleja davidii ‘Black Knight’ is one of the darkest and most dramatic butterfly bushes ever introduced, renowned for its deep, velvety purple flower spikes with contrasting golden-yellow eyes. The long, tapering flower panicles create a bold display from summer through early autumn and are irresistibly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

This fast-growing, free-branching deciduous shrub is easy to grow and highly adaptable. Once established, it is drought tolerant and thrives with minimal care, making it an excellent choice for wildlife gardens, mixed borders, or sunny feature plantings. With its long flowering season and strong fragrance, ‘Black Knight’ delivers both beauty and ecological value.
