This wonderful buddleia, also known as orange ball tree, is a flowering plant endemic to Chile and Argentina. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Distinctive round flower heads appear in early summer. This bushy shrub is low maintenance, making it a good feature plant for the middle or back of a border. It’s semi-evergreen, meaning that in a cold winter it’ll lose its leaves, but if the weather is mild the dark green, narrow leaves will add interest to the garden well after the flowers have faded. Buddleias attract bees and other pollinators to the garden. This species is monoecious (individual flowers are either male or female, but both sexes can be found on the same plant). It cannot grow in the shade and prefers moist soil. Grows 10-15′ x 8-12′. Photo from Gardeners World.
