Buddleja ‘Little Purple’ is a charming, compact butterfly bush that adds vibrant color and a delightful fragrance to your garden. This 2-litre plant showcases clusters of rich, purple flowers from mid-summer through autumn, creating a stunning display that attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making it a valuable asset for a wildlife-friendly garden.

For optimal growth, plant Buddleja ‘Little Purple’ in a sunny position with well-drained soil. It thrives in full sun, which enhances its flowering potential and ensures a vibrant color display. Ideal for small gardens, borders, or containers, this compact shrub reaches up to 1 meter (3 feet) in height and spread, making it perfect for adding a splash of color to limited spaces.

Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support lush foliage and prolific blooms throughout the growing season. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove the previous year’s growth, encouraging new, vigorous shoots and maintaining a tidy, compact shape.

‘Little Purple’ is especially beneficial for insects, with its nectar-rich blooms providing essential resources for pollinators. By including this shrub in your garden, you’ll not only enhance its beauty but also contribute to the health and diversity of local wildlife.
