Detailed Information

While the ‘Black Knight’ is a specific cultivar, Butterfly Bush (Buddleja davidii) originates from **central China**. Specifically, the areas of **Sichuan and Hubei provinces**.

It’s important to remember that even though it’s widely cultivated in many parts of the world, it is considered invasive in some regions due to its prolific seed production and ability to outcompete native plants.
