Product description
Our Buddleia Tricolour is a plant made up of 3 different Buddleia varieties. They are placed together at a very early stage, allowing the roots to entangle and avoid compromising the quality of each plant. This results in a gorgeous display of vibrant, eye-catching colour when they bloom in Summer. The plant also bears a lovely fragrance and will easily attract butterflies. Plant care consists of placing it in full sun within moist, well-drained, chalky soil. It should then be watered well in the first two weeks until it establishes itself and be pruned every March.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. These plants will be supplied in growers pots.

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.

Top Tip
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.
