This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

I bought it as a butterfly and bee plant after heavy loss due to flooding. Even though it was smallish (9cm) when planted it grew quickly and flowered the same year.

Hello Laura, Even a miniature tree will get taller than 8-10ft, so I suspect you may be looking for a shrub, which are generally more compact. The ones that will flower for months on end throughout summer are either Buddlejas or Lavatera. I'm afraid I don't know of any trees (no matter what size) that will match them.

Many gardeners who are happy, even gung-ho, with the secateurs when pruning shrubs and climbers are surprisingly reluctant to take the shears to herbaceous perennials. Maybe this is because it just doesn't seem quite right to be cutting back all that new
