Buddleja davidii 'Royal Red'
SKU

Spectacular summer color from conical clusters of rich, purple-red flowers. The nectar-rich flowers have a splendid fragrance. A beautiful selection with a naturally relaxed habit giving it a loftier, shorter appearance than taller varieties. A good background or accent plant for a perennial border or cutting garden. Deciduous.
