Care Guide

• Plant buddleias from late spring, as soon as the soil has had a chance to warm up. Container-grown plants can be planted right up to early autumn.
• Buddleias perform best in a sunny position in well-drained soil, although will tolerate most conditions apart from wet, heavy clay.
• Mulch with manure in autumn or add a general purpose fertiliser in late spring to improve the number of flowers.
• Deadhead buddleia as the flowers fade to encourage a continuous supply of flower and take off every spent flower at the end of the year to prevent unwanted seedlings.
