Often known as 'butterfly bush', this plant is particularly attractive to butterflies.
Buddleia is native to China and was introduced to Britain in the 1890s. Despite this, it is a surprisingly common sight in the Manx countryside, probably due to its hardy nature and ability to grow with very little soil.
The Manx name for this flower is "Thammag y foillycan", which means "bush of butterflies".
