General Care
Soil
Good drainage is essential. The combination of wet soil and cold temperatures is particularly detrimental.Pruning
Prune only after new growth emerges in spring. Cut back to just above a set of large, healthy buds.Uses
Buddleia are ideally suited to perennial beds, mixed borders, and cottage gardens.Growing Tips
