Buddleia Care Tips
Water Requirements
Fertiliser Requirements
Care must be taken to deadhead the shrubs
after flowering, preventing them from spreading
to unwanted parts of the garden or any natural
landscape nearby. They're effortless to grow.
They may need more water during the spring if
you lack sufficient rainfall since this is when they
grow the most. Container-grown varieties will
need watering when they're dried out.
These plants don't require fertilisation, and the
feeding theme may cause them to produce
more foliage and no flowers instead. The
container-grown variety needs to be fed every
year in springtime.
Container-grown plants need to be placed in a
sheltered place when they're wintering. If you're
expecting cold conditions, you may want to wrap
the pot in fleece or bubble wrap.
Light Requirements
Soil Requirements
Buddleia does best in full sunlight to only partial
shade. They will flower well and thrive as long as they
get a few hours of full daylight daily.
These plants can thrive in most soil types if there is
enough free draining. They hate being swamped in
wet soil in the cold winter but do very well in lime or
chalky soil.
Buddleia must be positioned at the same level in the
soil as in the pot. Ensure you water it well and keep
watering it until it establishes unless the weather is
already rainy.
