Product Description
Buddleja Sugar Plum is a stunning new highly-fragrant Buddleia, also known lovingly as the Butterfly Bush, which produces clusters of rich purple-red flowers in profusion on strong compact stems. This variety is very easy to grow and its dwarf and compact habit makes this a great addition to the front of a border or for patio containers and pots as illustrated. A great pollinator, it will attract butterflies and bees to the garden. They can grow as high as 2m tall, but regular pruning will keep them at a very manageable 1-1.25m. 9cm pot plants supplied.

Growing at a glance…
Buddleia are well know for the hardiness that they provide, making them a perfect choice for long-term borders/rockeries. They can be pruned hard after flowering, and you should cut shoots back to strong buds/younger growth. Do not let plants dry out in the summer, particularly in hot weather.Buddleia can be planted in almost all types of soil, provided it is relatively fertile and that there is plenty of good drainage available. They prefer full sun or partial shade.
