A rich dark fast-growing shrub, Buddleja davidii Royal Red is loaded with vibrant purple-pink long honey-scented flowers from summer to autumn. Butterflies can't resist them, birds and bees will pay a visit to feed on the nectar too! Plant this beautiful shrub in cottage gardens, wildlife gardens, and in mixed beds. Prune hard after flowering in frost-free areas or in spring in cold ones to maintain compact growth and heavier flowering. Fertilise in spring using a slow-release fertiliser, and give an extra boost during the summer heat using eco-seaweed.
