Buddleja davidi

Buzz™

An exciting breeding breakthrough has produced this astonishing patio Buddleja! The short stems and compact growing habit make it perfect for growing in patio containers and small gardens.

 In summer Buddleja ‘Buzz™’ produces masses of fragrant, dense flower spikes that will attract clouds of butterflies to your garden.

Like its larger relatives, this dwarf Butterfly Bush is hardy and easy to grow in almost any situation. Height and spread: 120cm (48″). (Thompson & Morgan quote)

While I agree they are suitable for containers possibly for 2-3 years, long term they are better in the ground. All the Buzz™ series are planted in our display garden at Longstock.
