Product description
Buddleia Lavender Flow is a variety popular for its vibrant lavender flowers that grow in clusters, known to attract butterflies. Also known as the ‘Butterfly Bush’, these garden plants are suitable for container gardening due to their compact growing habit. Their dwarf size makes them fit for tricky garden areas, as ground covers or simply as balcony plants.
These flowering bushes are non-invasive. Their hardiness and tolerance to drought entitles them as low maintenance garden plants. Buddleja plants profusely bloom masses of lavender coloured flower throughout summers.
Plant them in a sunny sheltered spot in a moist soil that is well-drained. Add any organic mulch to keep the roots cool and support the young plants with a general-purpose feed. This little initial care of your Buddleja plants will ensure gorgeous blooms and plant health for years to come.
Prune the distressed flowers and damaged stems back until the new buds before spring. Buddleja flowering plants have long lasting blooming seasons. To encourage fresh new blooms, remove faded flower heads.
Buddleja Lavender Flow will add naturistic and floral value to your wildlife garden. These flowers release a sweet honey scent that attracts butterflies and other pollinators. It is a worthy source of nectar for hummingbirds!
Buddleia bushes will act as a good hedging or, better yet, a brilliant flowering plant for your patio.

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.
