Product description
Buddleia Berries and Cream is a fast growing, deciduous shrub that is full of gorgeous colour. The vibrancy of the white and purple flowers brings an eye-catching, bi-coloured theme to the garden, ensuring that beds, borders, pots and more are pleasing on the eye. These blooms will last from Summer through to Autumn, contrasting greatly against the lush, green foliage below. This should be planted in moist, well drained soil. Regular watering is recommended in Summer, with less required as the year progresses. You should also remove wilting flower heads to encourage fresh growth in the following Spring. When positioning the plant, full sunlight will be more beneficial, making the plant flourish in the long term.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

How to Water
Water young plants regularly for the first year or so until they are fully established. After this, buddleias should only need to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
For the best show of flowers, plant buddleia in a sheltered spot in full sun. Ensure the soil drains well and dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Dig in some garden compost and position the plant, placing the top of the root ball just below soil level. Backfill with soil and compost and water in well.
