Description

Even Before The Butterflies Arrive, Those Inky Flower Plumes Will Have Every Eye Fixed On Them!

'Butterfly Candy Little Blackberry' carries the darkest colouring in the Butterfly Candy series, with striking deep purple flowers that appear almost black. Against the foliage, that intensity looks wonderfully dramatic, giving a small shrub enough presence to anchor an entire planting scheme.

It is very floriferous and naturally well branched, so the plant develops a full, shapely outline carrying generous plumes. The flowers release a sweet fragrance and attract butterflies and bees.

At around 90cm high and 80cm wide, it fits comfortably into a patio pot, narrow border or smaller garden where space is precious. Its naturally rounded habit creates substance and structure without overwhelming nearby planting.

Choose a position in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. When growing in a container, use a generously sized pot with drainage holes and check watering regularly during dry weather. Hardy down to -18C, this compact shrub brings welcome reassurance through UK winters once established.

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.
  • 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.
