Product description
Our Petite Buddleia collection offers a colourful mix of delightful low growing buddleias that are perfect for breathing a bit of new life into the garden. Consisting of 3 plants (1 red, 1 white, 1 blue) these buddleia all have evergreen foliage and they will all produce masses of fantastically fragrant flowers that last throughout summer. As is common with buddleias, these plants will attract an abundance of pollinators such as bees to your garden and their naturally compact form makes them ideal for gardens where space might be an issue. Thier low-growing nature and bright colour would look great in a shrub garden or large container to catch the eye with a fantastic tri-colour effect when planted together.
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.
