    Buddlea (butterfly bush) - comes in many colours -- you have a nice white one and a blue variety -- cut the flowers off as they fade or you get a lot of less attractive brown ones :)

    All of them are Buddleia. Just different coloured flowers. The most usual colour is that typical city weed, the dusty lilac one: but the deep purple and white forms are also seen around. I suspect they may not be so invasive.

    Definitely. They have a nice scent too. They respond well to pruning and you can cut them back next spring to fit whatever area they are in.
