Buddleja Hi Five purple

Common Name:
Butterfly Bush 'High Five Purple'

Description:
Buddleja 'High Five Purple' is a compact, deciduous shrub celebrated for its abundant, fragrant, double lavender-purple flower spikes that bloom from late spring through to autumn. Its dense, mounded habit and lush green foliage make it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and small gardens. In Melbourne's temperate climate, 'High Five Purple' thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting drought and heat tolerance once established. This non-invasive variety is sterile, preventing unwanted self-seeding. Minimal maintenance is required, with deadheading unnecessary, and pruning recommended in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. Its long blooming period and compact size make it a valuable addition to gardens seeking continuous colour and pollinator attraction.
