Buddleja salviifolia, commonly known as Sageleaf Butterfly Bush or Mexican Butterfly Bush, is a species of flowering shrub in the Buddlejaceae family. Here’s some information about it:
Origin and Distribution
Buddleja salviifolia is native to Central and South America, specifically found in regions ranging from Mexico to Argentina. It is commonly found in dry and rocky habitats, such as hillsides and open woodlands.
Appearance
This shrub is characterized by its grey-green leaves that resemble the leaves of the culinary herb sage (Salvia spp.), hence the name “Sageleaf Butterfly Bush.” The leaves are often covered with fine hairs that give them a silvery appearance. The shrub can grow up to around 6-10 feet (2-3 meters) in height.
Flowers
The Sageleaf Butterfly Bush produces clusters of tubular, fragrant flowers that attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. The flower colour can vary but is often in shades of lavender, purple, or violet. The flowers are usually held in panicles at the ends of the branches.
