They get quite large. Specifically there is one with silver foliage out there that'd look nice offset off the others (or near red foliaged plants/trees. I would go for a variety, not all the same.

Now, after receiving about 5 mail-order catalogs, I'm stumped! SpringHill has a one with fat panicles they call (excuse the spelling)'Kadiloscope' bi-color. Its more lavender with orange centers. Wayside has a clumpy-panicle bi-color one, and it looks nothing like SpringHills! One is a davadii, the other is a B x globosa (maybe), I think. So I switched my interest over to the Yellow. Wayside has that in its catalog, but the panicles look really short. Well, I'm confused. Some of these mail-order catalogs are from Pluto! They make up names for well-known cultivars and that's a bummer. I finally referred to springmeadownursery.com and learned a bit more about buddleia. I called them, too, and was treated very nicely, indeed. I'm going to keep up my quest, and can be contacted at my e-mail address if anyone has any answers to my jumbled questions about Buddleia.

I just ordered a bi-color bush that has two-toned blooms in orange and purple. If you're not crazy about butterfly bushes you might like these new ones. I found mine at park seed, but they're also available at wayside and elsewhere. Just stumbled upon your blog today and look forward to reading more of your back posts. I absolutely love buddleia.

Butterflies flock to them like crazy. I agree that these butterfly bushes are not too pretty but as far as attracting butterflies goes, you can’t really go wrong.

My mother gave us a purple butterfly bush as a house-warming gift (one of many plants from her collection)--am looking forward to the display this summer!
