Garden Centre > Plants > Shrubs > B

Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: fast-growing
Flowering period: July to September

Much maligned for its habit of colonising railway sidings, buddleja can be a fabulous addition to a sunny border, with dramatic, fragrant flowers that are attractive to butterflies and other beneficial insects. Pruned hard in spring, this shrub produces dense spikes of honey-scented, bright pink flowers with orange eyes throughout summer. The pointed, grey-green leaves turn butter-yellow in autumn. Garden care: Prune back hard in March, removing all of the previous year's growth to three or four buds.
