Description
The "Summer Bird Magenta" cultivar of Butterfly Bush (Buddleja) is a small-sized shrub that produces striking magenta flowers during Djilba (early spring), gracing your garden with a wonderful scent that lures butterflies. Whether grown in the ground or in pots, its compact size and vibrant flowers make it an excellent addition to any garden setting. It thrives in full sun but needs protection from the harsh afternoon rays.
To cultivate "Summer Bird Magenta" successfully, if planting in the ground, ensure the soil is enriched if it's sandy or poor, or use well-drained pots. The main pruning should be done in Makuru (winter), accompanied by dead-heading spent flowers to encourage fresh ones. Fertilise in Djilba (early spring) using a balanced fertiliser. By following these special instructions, you will have a beautiful and fragrant addition to your garden, one that will not only enhance its visual appeal but also attract nature's most beautiful pollinators.
