Plant description
A compact, double-flowering buddleja with cascading sprays of purple-violet blooms that fade to soft lavender as they mature. Flowering from July to October, this long-lasting display is a magnet for butterflies and beneficial insects.
Unlike many butterfly bush cultivars, Buddleja 'Floral Fanfare' is sterile, meaning no unwanted seedlings and more energy directed into flowering. Reaching up to 2m in height, it is perfect for smaller gardens, patio pots, or mixed borders.
Hardy and easy to grow, it thrives in well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. The lance-shaped, bright green foliage provides an attractive contrast to the velvety, unscented blooms, making it a striking yet low-maintenance choice for wildlife-friendly planting.

How to care for Buddleja lindeyana Floral Fanfare (PBR):
Plant out as soon conditions allow, avoiding frozen or waterlogged soil. Incorporate well-rotted manure or garden compost and perhaps some mycorrhizal fungi into the soil when planting.
Keep well-watered during warm weather until the plant has settled in fully, and once the plant has become established, prune it hard each year in March, cutting all of the previous year's growth back to within two to four buds from the base (25cm or 10in).

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