A new twist on a much-loved garden favourite, ‘Buzz’™ is the world’s first patio Buddleja! These attractive, compact plants are loved by bees and butterflies, but won’t take over your garden.

Buddleja Buzz™ Magenta is easy to grow and problem-free with a super long-flowering period. Perfectly proportioned for patio pots and smaller gardens. Height and spread: 120cm (47″). (Thompson & Morgan quote)

B. Buzz™ Magenta has been in our display beds at Longstock for about four years and are pruned in the middle of March and giving a good display for three months.
