Supplied in a 2 Litre pot, this Buddleja is easy to grow and maintain. However, it may suffer from a few problems, which can be easily remedied through pruning. It is important to avoid pruning too hard or too early, as this can lead to new shoots growing through the winter months and being damaged by frost. The best time to prune is in October/November to shape the shrub and then again in late March/April for a more thorough pruning. This will not affect flowering and may even improve it.

Eelworm can also be a problem for Buddleja, causing yellow or brown blotches on leaves and deformed shoots. The best way to treat this is by cutting out affected branches and discarding them away from the garden. Despite these potential issues, Buddleja is a highly beneficial shrub for the garden. It attracts butterflies and other beneficial insects, adding interest and beauty to any outdoor space.

The Buddleja genus offers a wide variety of species and varieties, each with its own unique flower types, colours, and sizes. They are a popular choice for their stunning summer flowers and easy maintenance. So why not add a Buddleja Lochinch to your garden and enjoy the beauty and benefits it brings?
