This guide is for gardeners with small spaces or those looking to attract pollinators to their patios. The Buddleja 'Butterfly Candy Little White' offers a prolific display of pure white, honey-scented flowers that draw butterflies, even in confined areas. A potential caveat is its need for full sun to thrive and bloom.

It grows to a mature height of approximately 80cm (about 2.6 feet).
It can be planted in spring or autumn. If planting in spring, ensure it is after the risk of frost has passed.
Once established, it requires minimal feeding. A light feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring can be beneficial, but it is tolerant of poor soils.
Yes, its compact size makes it exceptionally well-suited for growing in containers on patios or balconies.
Prune in late winter or early spring. Cut back the previous year's growth by about one-third to shape the plant and encourage new flowering shoots.
Yes, buddlejas are famously attractive to butterflies, and the 'Butterfly Candy' varieties are specifically bred to be excellent attractants with their abundant, nectar-rich flowers.
It has a light, sweet honey scent, most noticeable on warm, sunny days.
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate water, especially during dry periods. Check that the pot or soil is not waterlogged, as this can also cause wilting.
Verify the plant is in a location receiving full sun. Insufficient sunlight is the most common cause of poor flowering. Ensure it was pruned correctly in late winter/early spring.
This can be due to overwatering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and ensure good drainage.
Hose off pests with water or use an insecticidal soap. Encourage natural predators like ladybirds.
Upon receiving your 9cm potted Buddleja 'Butterfly Candy Little White', it is best to plant it as soon as possible. Choose a sunny location in your garden or on your patio. If planting in the ground, ensure the soil is well-draining, though this variety is tolerant of poorer soils once established. For container planting, use a good quality potting compost. Water thoroughly after planting. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from watering during prolonged dry spells. Pruning is generally done in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage flowering. Deadheading spent flower plumes can encourage a longer flowering period and prevent self-seeding if that is a concern.
