Flat Pot Ø 50 cm

Ideal for hedges, borders and green roofs

The Buddleja officinalis, also known as the "butterfly bush", is a fascinating deciduous ornamental shrub native to Asia. Valued for its winter flowering and sweet fragrance, it is ideal for gardens that want to combine beauty, hardiness, and a touch of biodiversity. With its silvery-green foliage and clusters of pink-lilac flowers, it attracts butterflies and pollinators, bringing life and colour even during the colder months. Perfect for borders, hedges, and low-maintenance green spaces.

  • Habit and height: upright and slightly arching shrub, dense foliage, 2–3 metres tall.
  • Foliage: deciduous, lance-shaped leaves dark green above and silvery underneath.
  • Flowering: from January to March, fragrant clusters of pale pink to lilac flowers, loved by butterflies.
  • Hardiness: tolerates cold down to -15°C and poor soils.
  • Ideal for: borders, decorative hedges and informal gardens rich in biodiversity.
  • Soil: well-drained, preferably alkaline or sandy.
  • Exposure: full sun; tolerates partial shade.
  • Watering: moderate during the first few months, then very little water.
  • Pruning: once a year, at the end of flowering or early spring; remove faded flowers.

From January to March it produces an abundant and fragrant winter bloom, with small clustered flowers from pale pink to lilac that attract butterflies and pollinators.

Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade; it adapts to poor, well-drained soils, preferably limestone or sandy ones. It is resistant to cold down to -15°C and to drought; annual pruning at the end of flowering promotes new branches and a richer bloom.

It pairs well with nectar-producing plants such as Caryopteris clandonensis and Lonicera fragrantissima, or with winter-flowering shrubs such as Chimonanthus praecox and Viburnum tinus.

FLAT POT SIZE Ø 50 CM

Instant effect: a finished garden from day one

Flatpots are well-established plants, grown in our nursery in a shallow, wide pot measuring Ø 50 cm. They arrive with a full crown and a wide root ball, with roots that spread outwards instead of circling.

The result is an instant impact: as soon as they are planted, hedges, borders and flowerbeds already have the appearance of a mature garden. You don't have to wait years for the plants to grow and, thanks to the wide and shallow root ball, they establish quickly: they are also ideal for green roofs and shallow soils.

They are the right choice for designers, landscapers and companies that need to deliver a finished project, and for anyone who wants to transform their garden in a single season.
