With its grey green leaves and striking red/purple flowers in late summer, this shrub is sure to catch the eye. It can reach a height of 2.5m and has a spread of 2m, making it easily maintained. The lance-shaped grey green foliage and reddish purple flowers create a stunning contrast, making this shrub a standout in any landscape.

Not only is Buddleja davidii Royal Red visually appealing, but it is also easy to grow. It thrives in well-drained, sandy, loam, chalk, and clay soils and can be planted in full sun to partial shade. This hardy shrub is classified as H6 (-15) and is a deciduous plant, meaning it will lose its leaves in the winter.

When it comes to caring for Buddleja davidii Royal Red, pruning is key. Pruning should be done in late March/April, after the frosts have passed.
