BUDDLEIA dav. White Profusion 30-40cm

Planting Conditions and Ideal Location

• Light Requirements: Grows best in full sun, which encourages maximum flower production and fragrance.

• Soil Preferences: Tolerates most well-drained soils, including sandy, loamy, or chalky types.

• pH Range: Prefers neutral to slightly alkaline soils (pH 6.5–7.5).

• Moisture Needs: Likes moderately moist soil but becomes drought-tolerant once established. Avoid planting in poorly drained locations.

• Planting Time: Best planted in spring or early autumn, giving roots time to settle before seasonal extremes.

• Spacing: Allow 2–3 metres between plants to accommodate their mature size and ensure good air circulation.

• Positioning Tips: Perfect for wildlife gardens, mixed borders, or as a focal specimen shrub.

• Wind Tolerance: Hardy and tolerant of exposed sites but flowers last longer in a sheltered, sunny position.

Routine Care, Feeding, and Seasonal Maintenance

• Watering:

  • Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish.

  • Once mature, water only during prolonged dry periods.

• Feeding: Apply a balanced general-purpose fertilizer in spring to encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.

• Pruning:

  • In late winter or early spring, cut back the previous year’s stems to two or three buds from the base to promote vigorous new flowering shoots.

  • Deadhead faded flower spikes throughout summer to encourage further blooms.

• Mulching: Apply a 5 cm mulch of compost or well-rotted manure in spring to retain moisture, feed the soil, and suppress weeds—keep away from the plant’s crown.

• Pest and Disease Resistance: Generally pest-free. In hot, dry summers, monitor for spider mites. Good airflow helps prevent mildew.

• Winter Care: Fully hardy in the UK and Ireland. A mulch over the root zone can offer extra frost protection in colder inland areas.

• Propagation: Can be easily propagated from hardwood cuttings in winter or semi-ripe cuttings in summer.

Ornamental Features, Seasonal Interest, and Garden Uses

• Foliage: Narrow, grey-green leaves create a soft backdrop that complements the striking flower clusters.

• Flowers: Large, conical sprays of pure white blooms with small yellow-orange eyes appear from July to September.

• Fragrance: Strongly scented flowers make a delightful addition to seating areas and sensory gardens.

• Wildlife Benefits: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, earning its nickname “Butterfly Bush.”

• Ornamental Value: Creates a bright, elegant display that pairs beautifully with colourful perennials like echinacea, phlox, and salvia.

• Garden Design Uses:

  • Excellent in wildlife-friendly planting schemes.

  • A standout feature at the back of borders for height and colour.

  • Works beautifully in large, sunny beds or cottage garden settings.

• Growth and Size: Fast-growing deciduous shrub, typically reaching 2–3 metres tall with a similar spread.

• Longevity: Can live many years if rejuvenated with annual pruning to maintain a healthy, open framework.

• Companion Planting: Complements other buddleja varieties in contrasting colours, as well as roses, ornamental grasses, and summer-flowering perennials.
