Shrubs

Description

We’re proud to introduce Buddleja Octopus Magenta. This extraordinary plant is not your average butterfly bush. With its unique flower panicle shape, well-branched habit and remarkable disease resistance, it stands out as a must-have for any landscaper. One of the most captivating features is its distinctive flower arrangement: Octopus Magenta boasts branching flower panicles. Each main stem extends into several side branches, each laden with vibrant magenta flowers.

The side-branching panicles create a denser floral display, meaning more nectar, crawling in butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects. The flowers on the side branches mature at different times, ensuring continuous magenta blooms in the landscape. With its well-branched habit, Octopus Magenta is an ideal choice for small gardens, butterfly gardens, landscaping and containers on a patio or balcony.

How to care for Buddleja Octopus Magenta:
Buddleja Octopus Magenta grows up to 150 cm high and 130 cm wide and prefers a spot in well-drained soil in full sun. The semi-deciduous Octopus Magenta is hardy up to -18 ºC.
