When to plant flowering shrubs?
Flowering shrubs are best planted between October-April. Avoid planting in soil that is frozen or waterlogged.
Container-grown shrubs can be planted all year round, but the same applies when planting in frozen soil.
What kind of shrubs can I get?
YouGarden has a vast range of shrubs that you can add to your garden, Buddleia davidii is just one of these.
This Buddleia 'Butterfly Candy' collection is made up of compact and perfectly formed, patio butterfly bushes that are guaranteed to add some late summer colour to your garden with their intense flower spires.
These are low maintenance, however, benefit from pruning in early spring to maintain a nice compact plant. This is best done in March.
Plant Buddleia in garden borders in any moist, well-drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade.
