Butterfly bush. Everde Growers believes this to be a classic buddleia. This variety has long been treasured for its showy panicles of very dark violet to dark purple flowers which appear over a long period from late summer into fall. The long gray-green leaves and tall upright stems form a large shrub which can grow up to 10′ tall. ‘Black Knight’ has proven to be a vigorous grower and a very hardy selection.
