Buddleia • Butterfly Bush

 colored racemes, and where they prove a great 

 attraction to bees and butterflies. While they 

 attain a growth of 5 to 6 feet and are quite hardy, 

 the wood dies back near the ground, the new 

 wood appearing from the base. Protect during 

 winter with soil or coarse manure to a height of
