Key Features

  • Neon-pink plumes deliver the most vibrant red-toned colouring in the ‘Butterfly Candy’ series, giving your pots and borders a punchy focal point

  • Growing to only 80cm high and wide, this small-space Buddleia fits comfortably into a patio container or tighter border, yet remains hardy down to -18C
  • Sweet fragrance gives the flowers another layer of appeal, while visiting butterflies and bees bring the shrub to life
  • Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant

Description

Think Buddleias Need Plenty Of Room? 'Little Bubblegum' proves otherwise, packing the series' most vibrant red-toned colour into masses of sweetly scented neon-pink plumes on a rounded 80cm shrub that attracts butterflies and bees.

Its well-branched framework carries those vivid flower plumes across a full, balanced plant, creating an attention-grabbing focal point without demanding the room of a conventional butterfly bush.

Reaching only 80cm high and wide, 'Little Bubblegum' fits comfortably into a patio pot, smaller border or tighter planting scheme.

The sweet fragrance makes it particularly rewarding near a patio or seating area, where the scent and visiting wildlife can be enjoyed at close range. Its appeal to butterflies and bees also helps bring movement into the garden and support greater biodiversity.

Hardy down to -18C, this compact shrub combines extraordinary colour with reassuring winter resilience. Plant it in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. When growing in a container, choose a roomy pot with unobstructed drainage and water regularly during warm, dry weather.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Buddleia plants are low maintenance, but they do benefit from pruning in early spring to maintain a nice compact plant.
Care Information
  • Plant Buddleia in garden borders in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
  • Ideal for planting 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.
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.
