Woodland sage, also known as Purple wood sage
The Butterfly Bush, or Buddleia, is a plant known for its clusters of purple flowers that bloom on arching stems. This plant is highly attractive to butterflies and bees. After the flowering period, typically in late summer or early fall, it is recommended to cut back the plant to encourage healthy growth and more blooms the following year.
