Buddleja 'Leah Blue' 175mm pot

Buddleja 'Leah Blue' is a compact butterfly bush with soft silver-green foliage and masses of blue to blue-purple flower spikes. It flowers over a long season from late spring into autumn, and the nectar-rich blooms are a magnet for butterflies and bees. Its neat, bushy habit reaches roughly 70cm to 1m tall and wide, making it far better suited to smaller gardens and large pots than traditional buddlejas. Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil; it is frost and drought tolerant once established, and deadheading or a light prune after flowering encourages repeat blooms.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.

  1. Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
  2. Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
  3. A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
  4. Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
  5. Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
  6. Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
  7. Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
  8. Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.

Enjoy the beautiful roses!
