Buddleja Butterfly Candy Little Purple 3lt
Buddleja Butterfly Candy Little Purple is a compact buddleja selected for its abundant purple summer flower panicles that are highly attractive to butterflies and other pollinators. Best grown in full sun in Ireland, it does well in moist but well‑drained soil, including chalky ground, and is tolerant of dry conditions once established. Prune hard in early spring to promote vigorous new shoots and plentiful blooms through summer into early autumn.
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.
