Product description
Buddleia Buzz Hot Raspberry is a deciduous shrub that has gorgeous hot pink flowers which form in neat panicles, which ensures a lovely appearance in the garden. The Summer is when this shrub will begin to bloom so, from June - September, an abundance of colour will come to the fore and be loved by both bees and butterflies throughout. You should plant these in moist, well-drained soil and place them in in full sun at the best of times. Once-a-week watering should be consistently met, ensuring the soil remains moist throughout its time with you. Also, the soil should never be waterlogged as the plant will not appreciate this.

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.
