Weyer Butterfly Bush 'Sungold'
Buddleia weyeriana ‘Sungold’ is a yellow flowering Butterfly Bush, easy to grow and low maintenance. The lowers appear on arching stems throughout summer until the first frosts. Can grow up to a height of 3m, however for a more compact Buddleja, prune hard in late winter.
