Buddleia Dark Pink ‘Butterfly Bush’ has a compact branching habit that makes it a suitable flowering plant for small gardens. It blooms dark pink flowers profusely on arching branches, creating a vibrant glowing fountain. These cone-shaped clusters of gorgeous pink blooms attract butterflies, bees and hummingbird.
Buddleja Dark Pink are deciduous shrubs with tolerant to heat and drought. They are easy to grow flowering shrubs that thrive in full to partial sunlight. Their ability to adapt to any dry soil with average moisture makes them a perfect choice for an outdoor garden.
These Butterfly Bushes will not invade your garden space. Use them as ground cover or plant them in container pots. Their compact growing habit and dwarf size makes them suitable for a patio or pool area as well.
Buddleia plants are popular for their long-lasting flowering period. They will bloom all summer and if faded flowers are pruned timely, then new blooms will show up as well. The flowers will last until mid-autumn. Their green leaves have silver undersides that add floral value and garden interest.
Since Buddleia shrubs are deciduous, some pruning is required before spring to keep the plant in proper shape. Add a mulch of organic compost to the base of the plant to encourage moisture retention.

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.
