Butterfly bush Buddleja 'Royal Red' red - Hardy plant
Buddleia davidii
Striking red
With its regal appearance, the butterfly bush 'Royal Red' (Buddleja davidii) will be a striking addition to your garden! The bush has purple-red plumes of flowers that smell delicious and attract bees and butterflies. The 'Royal Red' flowers profusely in late summer.
Prune the hardy bush to around 30 cm above the ground in spring. Plant the Buddleja in a nice spot in full sun. Keep the ground moist and water regularly.
If you buy deciduous shrubs in autumn they might not be looking quite as beautiful as usual. The big benefit of planting shrubs in autumn is that by spring they will be well rooted in the garden and ready to burst into growth.

Place the root ball of the butterfly bush in the planting hole. The top side of the root ball should be just below ground level. Fill the hole up with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting.

Care+
Has your butterfly bush grown too large? Clip off all the branches between 30-40 cm. The plant blooms on year-old branches, so this won’t impact flowering. Prune the dead branches off in the spring. Insulate the bottom-most metre of the butterfly bush during harsh winters.
In the spring and summer, sprinkle cow manure pellets around the shrub. Water the pellets right away.
