Growing 'Pink Delight' Buddleia Bushes

Buddleia is tough and will thrive in any sunny position in moist and well-drained soil. In shadier locations they still grow well, but you won't get so many flowers.

They benefit from being cut back hard in early spring during the first half of March, and prompt deadheading prolongs their season.

In Your Garden Design

'Pink Delight' would be the most gorgeous companion to pink and white rambling such as a Paul's Himalayan Musk Rose. It would also work beautifully with Hebe Pearl of Paradise or Celebration and a Ceanothus Silver Surprise. Pair with Delphiniums and Lupins. Buddleias are classic cottage garden plants so pair with one of herbaceous collections, Pretty Pinks.
