Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) Tricolour pot 2L

Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) Tricolour pot 2L £14.99
Everyone knows and loves a Buddleia for their shear 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 too.
