The Buddleja davidii 'Black Knight' is a deciduous shrub celebrated for its deep purple, fragrant flowers that attract a variety of pollinators, including butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Typically growing 6 to 8 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, it features an arching, vase-like shape and dark green foliage. Hardy in USDA zones 5 to 9, this butterfly bush thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and becomes relatively drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for pollinator gardens, mixed borders, or as a specimen plant, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush is low-maintenance and benefits from annual pruning in late winter or early spring to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms.
