Buddleja davidii ‘Dark Dynasty’ (Butterfly Bush)
Butterfly Bush 'Dark Dynasty', Summer Lilac 'Dark Dynasty', Buddleja 'Dark Dynasty'

The small, rounded habit of this new Buddleia makes it a great choice for urban gardens.  'Dark Dynasty' maintains its precise shape as it ages, becoming a petite 3' tall and 3 1/2' broad in two years, in contrast to other dwarf Buddleias that spread out quite widely.  From late summer to the beginning of fall, graceful branches are adorned with rich purple, fragrant flowers that provide food for monarch butterflies as they migrate.
