Description and Characteristics
Buddleja Buzz™ 'Magenta' is a compact, dwarf butterfly bush known for its vivid magenta-pink flowers, fragrant blooms, and pollinator-friendly nature. Developed as part of the popular Buzz™ series, this variety is ideal for gardeners who want the full summer impact of a traditional Buddleja—but in a smaller, patio-friendly form.
From mid-summer to early autumn (typically July to September), it produces long, cone-shaped clusters of deep magenta flowers with a pleasant honey scent. These blooms sit atop strong, upright stems and are continuously visited by butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators.
Buzz™ 'Magenta' maintains a neat, bushy form, growing to a maximum height and spread of 1–1.2 metres, making it suitable for containers, small borders, raised beds, or even as a low hedge. Like all Buddlejas, it is deciduous and easy to maintain, yet rewards with a spectacular flower display.
