Product description
‘Snow White’ is a new compact variety of Buddleia, the Butterfly Bush. This petite Buddleia does not grow invasive like other Butterfly bushes. It blooms pure white colour flowers over a prolonged period, from mid-summer until the first frost in winter. Snow White flowering shrub is admired for its classy sweet-scented flowers and its compact, well-behaved growing habit.
Buddleia plants shoot out arching branches that bear white flowers in cone-shaped bundles. These large cones of beautiful blooms attract butterflies all round the blooming season. Narrow leaves with silver-grey undersides cloak the shrub, making it a wonderful filler plant.
Buddleia Snow White is moderately drought tolerant, it demands watering in dry season, only until it is established. Plant it in a loam-based soil that is regularly drained, and watch how it develops into a cold hardy bush. They will flourish in both full sunlight or partial shade.
In the earlier stage of the growth, add a mulch of organic bark to the base of the plant for moisture retention. Buddleia Snow White is a perfect plant for a patio or area near pool. It can also be combined with other small or big Buddleia bushes for a colourful show of flowers.
Your guests will be delighted because Snow White will bring them flowers, sweet fragrance and butterflies, all the same time.

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a second flush of flowers.
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.
