부들레야 알테르니폴리아

Planted this in a sunny spot last month and it’s already covered in those sweet lilac-purple flowers, drawing bees every afternoon. The leaves are longer and narrower than I expected, which gives the whole shrub a nice, airy look.

Planted this near my back porch and the butterflies showed up within a week. The leaves have an interesting alternate pattern that sets it apart from other buddlejas I've grown. It's already reached about 3 feet tall in just two months.

The flowers have a lovely sweet fragrance that the bees in my yard can't resist. It's only been in the ground a month, but I'm already seeing new growth and a few buds forming.
