Do you live in an area that has more heat than most, but you long for a pleasant garden? If your climate is temperate, you’ll do well planting the Buddleja, a.k.a. Lo and Behold butterfly.

This low-slung bush is available in many varieties, including lilac, dark purple, and blue, and it’s a perfect ground cover plant. It also thrives in small, out-of-the-way spaces.

Because this low-maintenance shrub re-blooms throughout the entire growing season, they continuously put out new blooms that look just as good alongside spring colors as they will with fall foliage.

That makes this plant best for people who crave color throughout all the seasons. They do very well in the heat and can even tolerate drought conditions. So, the Buddleja is perfect for warmer climates.

As one of the most popular evergreen plants that flower, it attracts beneficial pollinators to its lovely, fragrant blooms. Plant a few in your outdoor area in different locations and see what colors attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
