Description

See exceptional late summer colour with the intense flower spires of this ornate standard lollipop-like tree, and even the pollinators of your garden will adore it!

The short stems and compact growing habit of the gorgeous 'Butterfly Candy' collection makes these patio varieties ideal for growing in smaller gardens or pots around the patio or decking. This 'Little Ruby' has been fashioned into a standard lollipop-like shape with a ball head of foliage.

Bursting to life in July with beautiful ruby-red blooms that last through to the start of autumn, bright spires of tiny flowers light up the containers or mixed borders of your garden. No wonder it was shortlisted for 'Plant of the Year' at the 2022 RHS Chelsea Flower Show!

This compact Buddleia is winter hardy and very easy to grow - just plant in a sunny spot of the garden to see thriving displays. Plus, the abundant brightly-coloured, fragrant flowers are adored by many beneficial pollinators and will attract butterflies and bees to your garden, hence why it is recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators'.

Supplied as a standard-form plant in an 18cm pot, already 80-100cm tall, 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, or in patio containers using a soil-based compost.
  • Prune Buddleia in March, once the hardest frosts are over, as the new growth begins to show, to retain the standard form and height. Firstly, remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or weak stems, before pruning to shape.
  • 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.

1. If you're not totally happy with your order, return it within 30 days and we'll replace or refund in full!
2. Should any hardy plant fail to thrive thereafter, we'll replace free of charge - you just pay the P&P
