‘Looks impressive’: Plants to add value to your home – including hydrangeas and magnolias

Buddleia

So many people love the idea of attracting birds, insects and wildlife, and there’s a simple easy-to-maintain plant that will help you to grow a wonderful butterfly garden.

Samantha explained that for the summer to autumn months, the butterfly bush, also known as buddleia, is guaranteed to entice buyers to a home for sale.

She said: “While they can require annual pruning to keep them in shape for the next year, these summer lilacs are worth the little maintenance they require.”

However, it is important to note that some types are highly invasive, such as the buddleja davidii.
