Description

Imagine stepping out onto your patio in summer and seeing butterflies dancing around scented lilac blooms. That's exactly what Buddleia 'Butterfly Candy Lila Sweetheart' brings to your garden. It’s compact, it’s colourful, and it’s brimming with nectar that pollinators can’t resist.

It's easy to grow, looks fabulous for months, and creates a haven for wildlife even in the smallest of gardens. This beauty reaches just 80cm tall, which means it’s ideal for pots, small borders, or patio corners. From July right through to September, it’s smothered in upright spires of soft lilac-purple flowers with a hint of yellow at the centre. Each bloom is rich in nectar and lightly scented, so it’s a magnet for butterflies and bees.

What makes it even more special is how little effort it needs. It’s fully winter hardy, drought tolerant once settled, and remarkably easy to care for.

It's a brilliant plant for mixing with other summer stars like dwarf lavender or salvia, or for growing solo in a stylish container. You'll get elegant colour, gentle fragrance, and a real buzz of activity from pollinators, all from one compact plant.

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 soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
  • Ideal 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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
