Product Description
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 hey, if you forget, it will be fine too! Very hardy, and disease free, grow in sunny spots or large pots.
What Is Supplied
Item 510198 supplied as:
Supplied as a 2L pot, with 3 separate plants growing in, about 40cm tall total, well branched, to plant out and flower this year.
Plant Information
Top Tips
Buddleia plants are low maintenance, but they do benefit from pruning in early spring to maintain a nice compact plant.
Care Guide
- 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.

Very disappointed with the packaging because I ordered a pair of Buddleia plants but cardboard box was delivered badly damaged. On opening the box found all but one of the branches had been broken off one of the Buddleias. Have replanted it in a pot and hoping branches will regrow.Product:
Do not yet know if the plant will regrow as it was badly broken, possibly due to the damage caused in transit.

I am sorry that you are unhappy with the wait, however the reason for this was that your credit card failed authorisation and you didn't reply to our letter. Once you called us to resolve, we dispatched within 3 days.
Strawberries are perennials and as such don't look too pretty in early spring - they should pick up fine with proper care... Let us know if not.

This time I cant give you better mark because your courier left my plant at wrong address-insted Saltisford Gardens he went to Antelope Gardens and elderly lady brought me this plant. Although delivery was quick add-on.ee.co.uk/status. plant looked a bit tired. After some TLC it recovered . I wanted to order some more plants but this wrong delivery made me think-I dont want elderly people being troubled because of brainless courier.Product:
The plant was thrown in to box, without any protection. It looked tired, lost a lot of leaves.

Apologies for the incorrect delivery. We will follow this up with our courier. Let us know how the plants develops.

Good delivery speed, packaging could have been better as the two items were left untied to flop about in the box which had been thrown about during transit. Plants had some minor damage due to this but otherwise ok.Product:
Some minor damage due to being thrown about during transit. Plants should have been secured in the box, I think, to help prevent this. Looking forward to seeing them out in bloom later in the year...need to plant them first once the ground here on the Pennines has warmed up a little more. Keeping them watered in their pots for now.
