Homeowner Growing Tips: These prolific bloomers need to be grown in good soil or fertilized regularly to give them the energy necessary to create all that sweet nectar. Water regularly during hot and dry weather to prevent wilting. Removing spent flower spikes will encourage more new blooms.
This is a shorter variety than most Buddleia! It has been gorgeous this year - blooming still and of course a favorite with hummingbirds and bees. It responds with more blooms when old blooms are trimmed away. It has bloomed all of July and August and is still blooming! Thanks!
