YouGarden Troicolour Buddleia Butterfly Bush in 2L Pot

Everyone knows and loves a Buddleia for their sheer flower power and magnetic allure for butterflies - hence their common name The Butterfly Bush.

Here is a new twist on a much-loved favourite - 3 separate colours on one. Our clever growers have skilfully matched 3 different coloured plants - one white, one pink and one purple-blue - and grown them close together in one pot. As the plant develops, the stems intermingle, creating a most intriguing mixed colour effect which will get the neighbours talking.

Retaining their magical attraction to butterflies, you can look forward to peacock and tortoiseshell butterflies aplenty this summer - and for years beyond. Buddleia is one of the most robust and easy-care shrubs to grow requiring almost no maintenance - we suggest a simple hack back to about 30cm each spring before new leaves appear, but if you forget, it will be fine too. Very hardy, and disease-free, grow in sunny spots or large pots.

Top Tips

Care Information

• Plant Buddleia in garden borders in any moist, well-drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
• Alternatively, grow buddleja plants in patio containers using soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3.
• Prune Buddleia in March, once the hardest frosts are over, as the new growth begins to show.
• Firstly, remove any dead, diseased, damaged, or weak stems, before pruning all off the remaining stems back to form a low framework.
• Drought tolerant once established.
