Vibrant colour and pollinator appeal for every Australian garden

Bring colour, fragrance, and life to your garden with Buddleja—commonly known as the Butterfly Bush. Loved by gardeners across Australia, Buddleja is renowned for its long, nectar-rich flower spikes that attract butterflies, bees, and birds throughout the warmer months.

Whether planted as a feature shrub, in garden borders, or in large pots, Buddleja delivers months of vivid colour and movement.

Key Features

Spectacular Blooms: Long clusters of flowers in shades of purple, mauve, pink, white and even yellow, flowering from late spring to autumn.
Pollinator Magnet: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and nectar-loving birds — perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens.
Fast-Growing & Hardy: Establishes quickly and provides strong seasonal impact within its first year.
Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant once established and generally pest-free, needing minimal care.
Versatile: Excellent for garden beds, mixed borders, feature plantings, or large containers in full sun.
Fragrant: The sweet scent of Buddleja flowers adds an extra sensory dimension to outdoor spaces.

Growing Tips for Buddleja

Sunlight: Prefers full sun for maximum flowering, though it can tolerate light shade.
Soil: Performs best in well-drained soil but adapts well to a range of soil types.
Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency — Buddleja is drought-hardy once settled.
Pruning: Prune back hard in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth. Deadhead to prolong flowering.
Fertiliser: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth and flowering.

Design & Landscaping Ideas

Buddleja adds structure, fragrance, and colour to any landscape. Use it as a background shrub, hedge, or feature plant in mixed borders. Compact forms thrive in pots or courtyard gardens, while larger varieties make stunning pollinator hedges or focal points.

Our Verdict

If you’re looking for a hardy, fast-growing, and pollinator-friendly shrub that thrives in Australian conditions, Buddleja is unbeatable. Its combination of low maintenance, long flowering period, and wildlife appeal make it a must-have for any garden.

A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.

Healthy plants and quick delivery.

I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
