The butterfly plant may boast beautiful flowers, but is also known for being highly invasive.
Gardeners are being made aware of one plant that is highly invasive - despite sprouting beautiful flowers.
As reported by the Express, a Garden Buildings Direct spokesperson explained: “When it comes to avoiding plants, most gardeners and homeowners know to stay clear of the pesky Japanese Knotweed. Buddleia is admired by many because its beautiful flowers and full shrub make it an attractive addition to any garden. The shrubs also attract butterflies and are loved by birds and bees.
As a result, the invasive shrub could also impact house prices for the worse. The bush is also an environmental issue as it outcompetes native plants, by spreading roots and taking up space.
