Why Grow Buddleia?
Buddleia, commonly known as the butterfly bush, is one of the most rewarding shrubs to grow in the garden. Famous for its ability to attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, it produces spectacular clusters of nectar-rich flowers that bloom from summer into autumn. These elegant, fragrant flower spikes come in a stunning range of colours, bringing a real wow-factor to any garden.
Hardy, Low-Maintenance and Fast-Growing
One of the biggest appeals of Buddleia is how easy they are to grow. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, these tough shrubs are drought-tolerant once established and require very little attention. A simple prune in early spring will encourage fresh growth and ensure an even bigger and better floral display.
Buddleia grow rapidly, making it an excellent choice for filling gaps in borders, creating informal hedges, or adding height and structure to your garden. There are even compact and patio-friendly varieties that are ideal for growing in pots, perfect for smaller spaces.
Care Tips for Buddleia
• Position: Full sun for maximum flowering.
• Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil is ideal.
• Watering: Once established, Buddleia is drought-tolerant but benefits from watering during dry spells.
• Pruning: Cut back hard in early spring to promote fresh, healthy growth.
