We have long been fans of Hans Simon's 1950s introduction

Buddleia Prince Charming PP 28903 Glaucidium (Paleoagave bracteosa) It was lustWow what a game changer! Buddleia 'Prince Charming' is an amazing butterfly bush from Walters Gardens plant breeder Hans Hansen, that forms a compact, 4. 5' tall butterfly magnet, whose long, upright spikes of raspberry red flowers top the clump, starting for us in mid May and continuing through fall. Our six year old plants have never produced a single seedling.
