Buddleja alter. 'Unique'®
Buddleja alter. 'Unique'®
Buddleja alter. 'Unique'® is a graceful, deciduous butterfly bush with arching stems that carry many small, softly scented lilac‑purple flowers in early summer. Flowers are produced on the previous year’s wood, creating elegant, cascading sprays that are highly attractive to pollinators. Best grown in full sun in fertile, well‑drained soil, it makes a fine specimen or mixed‑border shrub in Irish gardens; prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage next year’s display.
To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
