Buddleia (Butterfly Bush)

This video guide to how to plant Buddleia offers great advice and tips from our expert Jeff Turner.

Buddleia, also known as the Butterfly Bush, are great plants which flower from Summer into Autumn. They are extremely hardy and known for their tenacity particularly when growing freely in the wild. They are a great choice for long term borders or rockeries and will provide an abundance of colourful flowers. They are also, as the name Butterfly Bush suggests, very attractive to Butterflies and a great way to bring these insects to your garden.

 

We offer a great range in a selection of lovely shades of colour. We also offer miniature buddleia for all the advantages of the standard buddleia with a more compact habit ideal for patio containers. Similarly, our standard buddleia plant grafted onto a 60cm stem is great for a manageable and unusual container display. For advice on planting this, see our standard shrub video guide in the shrubs and trees category.
