I have 2 Buddleja Dwarf Buzz Indigo 1 yr old plants. Both are in pots and 1 will go out in the front garden & the other will be on the patio by the back door. I thought as they were dwarf they would be tiny. Not so! They could be 4 ft high. What size pot should I plant in. I like cms/inches dimensions the gallon is lost on me.


On plant Buddleja

Minimum 18 inches deep and 12 inches wide for the pot size. You may need to pot on into one that's a couple of feet deep by 18 inches wide after a year or two.

Agree with Bamboo, except that I would have said 14-18 inches wide and deep, since I prefer wider pots, in case of wind.

Buzz are not so tiny and do best in the ground, in a border. 5-6ft (1.8m) seems more like their eventual height.

I have some in 15L pots, the bare minimum, and will have to repot this year into 20L.
