Garden Centre > Plants > Shrubs > B

Position: full sun
Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: fast-growing
Flowering period: July to September
Hardiness: fully hardy
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 variety produces clusters of sweetly scented, orange-eyed, violet blue flower spikes on arching stems that last for weeks. The mid-green pointed leaves mature to deep green. Remove faded flower-spikes after flowering and the plant is likely to produce a second flush. Garden care: Prune back hard in March, removing all of the previous year's growth to three or four buds.
