Description

A splendidly tall, erect shrub - Buddleia davidii ‘Berries and Cream’ is an exciting new take on the traditional purple or white varieties that we’re all used to seeing.

With its long, arching conical summer flowerheads that grow to 20cm long covered in hundreds of tiny, yellow throated magenta-pink and white florets, ‘Berries and Cream’ is instantly striking and unlike any other Buddleia. A real talking point!

Exceptionally free flowering from July to September, it’ll be irresistible to bees and butterflies. In fact, during six years of trials by its expert breeder, Peter Moore, it attracted more butterflies than any other cultivar - great news for wildlife and even more reason to plant ‘Berries and Cream’ in your garden!

Extremely hardy, ‘Berries and Cream’ will thrive in full sun or partial shade in any well drained soil. It can be grown in a pot, which will limit its size, and is an impressive plant for the back of a border. Already a prolific flowerer, deadheading will encourage even more.

A deciduous shrub, in autumn the foliage turns to warm shades of orange and yellow before falling.

Supplied as 2 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant, growing to a height of 2.5m and width of 1.5m.

Top Tips
  • Buddleia plants are low maintenance, but they do benefit from pruning in early spring to maintain a nice compact plant.
Care Information
  • To plant, firstly water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out some of the roots.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot then refill the hole with the earth removed.
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well before adding a mulch around the base of the plant.
  • Water well until established.
  • Plant Buddleia in garden borders in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
  • 'Berries and Cream’ can also be grown in large patio container using soil-based compost such as John Innes No.3.
  • Prune Buddleja hard 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 of the remaining stems back to form a low framework.
  • Drought tolerant once established.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
