Product description
Buddleia Davidii Buzz Magenta or call it the ‘Butterfly Bush’, is a dwarf-sized compact deciduous perennial shrub that produces masses of beautiful magenta-red flowers. These large clusters of small flowers release a strong scent, specially in hot afternoons, that attracts butterflies. It’s an overwhelming sight to spot dazzling Buzz Magenta flowers in a garden.
These flowers grow on arching stems of Buzz Magenta carrying narrow grey-green leaves with silver undersides. The panicles of flowers are unusually shaped in the form of a cone, making them excellent border plants in the garden.
Buzz Magenta will bloom in early summer and shine bright in late summer until autumn. If the faded flowerheads are pruned timely, one can experience new blooms in mid-autumn season as well. Buddleja shrubs develop drought tolerance once they mature. They can be grown in full to partial sunlight in a well-drained and dry/moist soil.
These Buzz Magenta plants are suitable for container gardening for smaller gardens. You can also plant them as hedging outdoors. Even though they grow only up to a certain height, pruning them is required to keep the shrub in proper shape and size.
What’s more? Buddleja Buzz Magenta’s flowers are rich in sweet nectar enjoyed by Hummingbirds! This compact perennial will create a display of striking colours in your wildlife garden, cottage garden and act as a perfect hedging.

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.

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers.
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.
