Buddleia davidii (which is commonly known as Butterfly-bush) would usually be found
to grow on waste and disturbed ground. The shrubby perennial blossoms from June
to September, its flowers are pinkish purple, 4-lobed and 3-4mm across. Its
scent is known to attract butterflies. The vigorous deciduous shrub grows to 5m
tall. The plants in this genus are tough, quick growing, sun loving and salt
tolerant. This particular Buddleia was one I found off Stockport road,
mid-winter.
