This butterfly bush rewards you from July to autumn with many blue flowers that are also very good as cut flowers. You can enjoy your Buddleja both outdoors and indoors.
Buddleja pruning at the end of winter
To keep the Buddleja Davidii empire Blue in shape and to get lots of flowers, it is good to prune the Buddleja immediately after the frost period. It is advisable to do this every year. The butterfly bush grows quickly and forms long shoots. Cut off the tips of these shoots at the beginning of June. This will make the plant more robust, branch out with more shoots and it will flower at the end of each branch. If you cut away the wilted flowers, the butterfly bush will continue to reward you with lots of flowers.
