Description: Highly attractive to butterflies, moths, and other insects, the flowers of buddlejas come in a wide range of shapes and colors, while their tolerance of drought, many soil conditions, and common pests make them ideal garden plants. This book provides valuable clarification of the confusion over the naming of Buddleja species and hybrids (from “African Queen” to “Winter Sun”), details the diversity of the genus, and introduces gardeners to the spectacular qualities of the flowers, as well as illustrating the blossoms and several of their winged visitors in 85 color photographs. “Providing even the most novice gardening enthusiast with a plethora of information for each of the many featured Buddleja species, [David] Stuart draws upon his more than 14 years of experience with the plants to share his invaluable wisdom.”-Bookwatch
