Product description
Buddleia Candy Little Pink is the ideal flowering shrub for patios, balconies, and small gardens. Its dense green foliage grows in a neat shape and the sweetly scented flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators - hence the plant’s common name, Butterfly Bush. The small pink blooms have bright yellow centres and appear from late June to early July, lasting all summer long.
This is a low maintenance garden plant that is easy to grow. Buddleia prefers a sunny spot in moist, well-draining soil and even performs well in poor soil. A light annual pruning in spring is enough to maintain the shrub’s neat shape and encourage plenty of fresh new growth.
Buddleia candy little pink makes an ideal bed or border shrub, but its compact size makes it a great choice for growing in pots and containers.
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. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

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.
