    I bought one Butterfly Bush (Buddleja 'Wisteria Lane') because I could not find Butterfly Bush (Buddleja Buzz™ Sky Blue) in the spring of 2019. In previous springs, it was readily available, so I am curious as to why it disappeared in 2019. I used to have many Buzz Sky Blue plants at the small farm where I used to live until about four months ago. I loved this cultivar because of its lovely intensely blue flowers, its relatively small size, its tendency not to produce seedlings, and its strong attraction for butterflies.

    Butterfly Bush (Buddleja 'Wisteria Lane') Is very disappointing. Its flower color is an unattractive washed-out light blue; also the plant sprawls too much and is much too flat to be attractive.
