Description

Buddleja are easy to grow shrubs which take minimal care, and will last for many years in the garden. Buddleja 'Black Knight' is the most popular Butterfly Bush, and is grown for the deep, indigo-blue flowers, which are fragrant and produced neatly at the tips of the stems.

The Butterfly Bush will attract the most different species of butterfly to your garden, and will thrive on neglect and even grow happily in poor soil conditions. Plants of Buddleja are drought resistant, easy maintenance and excellent for attracting wildlife to the garden. Height: and Spread: 2.5m (8.2").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Plant Buddleja into garden borders in any moist, well-drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade. Alternatively grow Butterfly Bush plants in patio containers using soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
More Info
Feed and water container-grown plants regularly. Buddleja planted directly into borders will require only occasional attention. In spring, prune your Butterfly Bush back to a permanent low framework of 3 or 4 buds from the base of the plant. Deadhead faded Buddleja flowers to prolong the flowering season.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
