Product Description
Introducing this magical and unique Buddleia, 'Flower Power', that has taken years of dedication from plant breeders to produce. The first hybrid Buddleia between normal types, and a yellow flowered species, it has gorgeous 'colour changing' spires of flowers, from purple to orange - and all shades in between! What a sensational new colour for hot summer borders and shrubberies.
It retains the ability to attract Butterflies, hence the common name Butterfly Bush, in flower in Summer it will become a mecca for beautiful peacock and tortoiseshells. The bees will love it too - and repay you by pollinating crops for you!
Hardy and easy to grow, its multicoloured displays of colour and sweet scent will last all Summer long. It is more upright and less bushy than more common Buddleia, and can quite lax in some cases, so may need some support in windy spots.
Grow in well-drained borders in sunny spots for maximum Flower Power. Look forward to great Summer displays year after year.

Plant Information
Top Tips
Buddleias flower on new growth and will tolerate hard pruning - in early spring, when no frost is forecast, cut stems down to a around 30cm (1ft) and you'll be rewarded with larger flowers.
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 as plants are prolific.
