Perk-up your pollinator patch with the unusual, vibrant magenta blooms of Buddleja ‘Little Ruby’. Producing an impressive number of vibrant, honey-scented and nectar-filled deep pink blooms through summer, this butterfly bush will have pollinators making a bee-line to your borders and containers. Providing a delicious and much-needed nectar feast for its beautiful, winged visitors including bees and butterflies of all kinds, Buddleja ‘Little Ruby’ brings not only colour to the garden but also life, soul, flutter and buzz. Most notably, this is a compact version of the classic and much-loved Buddleja, only growing to around 80cm in height once mature. So, if you have a small garden, a gap in a border or a large patio container to fill with low-maintenance colour, theres no need to worry that itll get too big for its boots.
Buddleja ‘Little Ruby’ is a small and resilient hardy shrub which will be adorned with pretty flowers from June until early autumn every year, each year becoming more bushy and prolific. With stunning silvery-green foliage from March until frosty November, it brings a cool contrast into the garden too.. It thrives in clay, sand and loamy soil, tolerates poor soil and loves a sunny site. Whilst its a tough cookie, Buddleja ‘Little Ruby’ will appreciate a more gentle start in a temporary pot to be grown on for a few months first if youre planning on placing it into a permanent position with challenging growing conditions.
