Description

A shrub just 80cm high and wide should not be able to command this much attention... But, 'Butterfly Candy Little Bubblegum' certainly does, with blazing neon-pink flower plumes - the most vibrant red-toned colouring in the series.

This compact Buddleia boasts very floriferous growth and a well-branched structure for a generously flowered, naturally rounded plant, whether grown in a patio container or planted into a sunny border.

Each plume carries a sweet fragrance and draws butterflies and bees into the garden, adding movement around the flowers while helping to support biodiversity. Place it near a patio or seating area and these pleasures can be enjoyed at close range.

Choose full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Use a generously sized container with unobstructed drainage if growing it on the patio, and check the compost regularly during dry weather.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Buddleia plants are low maintenance, but they do benefit from pruning in early spring to maintain a nice compact plant.

Care Information

Plant Buddleia in garden borders in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
Ideal for planting in patio containers using soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3.
Prune Buddleia in March, once the hardest frosts are over, as the new growth begins to show.
Firstly, remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or weak stems, before pruning all off the remaining stems back to form a low framework.
Drought tolerant once established.
