Gardeners are being warned to be aware of a "troublesome" plant that can damage your home - and it's deceptively pretty.
While most shrubs are no hassle, some can become a nightmare if left to grow free, mainly by causing structural damage to homes. While Japanese Knotweed is the most well known culprit that can spread through buildings, the Buddleia davidii is just as risky.
Also known as the Butterfly Bush, the fast-growing plant requires little maintenance, blooms gorgeous pink and purple flowers and is great for attracting pollinating insects. But if you see the plant growing near your property away from soil- experts advise to get rid of it immediately, reports Coventry Live.
