Buddleia flowers in cone-shaped clusters that hang from the arching branches of the shrub. Its beautiful narrow green leaves add an excellent contrast for the bright flowers. The compact and mounding habit of the plant makes them suitable for colourful hedging.
Buddleia plants are easy to grow. They prefer locations with full sunlight where their blooming performance is of highest grade. They will do well even in partial shade, planted in a well-drained soil. Their roots will demand moist soil, so apply a layer of mulch made of organic material to the base of the plant. This will help in retaining moisture in the soil.
These are healthy plants that will not demand any additional fertiliser feed. They grow winter hardy but still need protection from strong cold winds. Prune them to keep them in desired shape right after the flowering periods.
Buddleia flowers have honey fragrance that will attract butterflies, adding wildlife interest in your garden. They are suitable for pool side areas, patio and in flower borders.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune buddleia hard in early spring to promote new growth and abundant flowers. Cut stems back to 30-45cm from the ground. Regular pruning keeps the plant manageable, encourages blooms, and prevents it from becoming too leggy or invasive.
How to Water
Water buddleia deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and needs minimal watering, usually only during prolonged dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as buddleia prefers well-drained soil to thrive.
How to Plant
To plant buddleia, choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and firm gently. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to retain moisture. Space plants 1-2 metres apart to allow for growth.
