This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
I bought this plant along with others for a memorial garden to my late partner. the plants were exactly what i wanted in colour and quality. Her favourite colours were Purple, White and Pink.

A very attractive Buddleja. Grew extremely well this summer. However, I decided that it was too large for our modestly sized garden and replaced it with a smaller shrub this autumn. For all that, I would always buy another if I had the space. Packed and delivered with the usual Crocus high standard.

Hello, Most plants we sell in a 2-litre pot will be around 2-3 years old, however what height they are will depend on what time of the year you purchase them as we do carry out formative pruning on them.

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.

Hello there, These are really troublesome pests, and there are no effective deterrents available (apart from getting a guard dog) which will be any help to you. They tend to prefer leaves and soft stems rather than flowers and woody stems, and they seem to prefer feeding in exposed positions and often nibble plants at the edge of borders. This habit can be used to the gardener's advantage by planting more valuable subjects in the centre of beds. In winter, when food is scarce, deciduous plants at the edge of beds will not interest rabbits, and will help protect winter flowers in the centre. Below is a list of flowering shrubs which they usually tend to leave alone. Buddleia davidii, Ceanothus Cistus Cotoneaster dammeri Deutzia Hebe Hypericum Hydrangea Mahonia aquifolium Potentilla fructicosa Rhododendron spp. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor
