(Butterfly Bush) Davidii White Profusion

Picture long, honey-scented white plumes arching over your border from July till the first frosts, with bees and butterflies queuing up for a sip. This butterfly bush grows fast to about 300 cm tall and 200-250 cm wide, so give it room to stretch. Plan on one per 3-4 square metres in a roomy border, or space a few apart for a loose, airy screen along a fence. The white flowers have a tiny golden eye that glows at dusk, and the silvery-green leaves make a soft backdrop. Seasonal changes may affect whether this green friend arrives with flowers.

Give it a spot in full sun, because that is where it flowers most generously. Any well-drained soil will do, even chalky ground, but it dislikes wet feet, so skip places where water pools. Water regularly during the first season while the roots settle in, and in long dry spells after that; in a pot it dries out much faster, so check often. Cut it back hard to about 30-50 cm in early spring: it flowers on new growth, so a firm prune means more and bigger plumes. It is fully hardy and stays outside all winter, and a bare, twiggy look in the cold months is perfectly normal.
