Buddleia Butterfly Candy 'Little Purple' Patio Tree

Grown as an elegant standard, the Buddleia 'Little Purple' is a compact variety from the Butterfly Candy series, making it perfectly suited for patios and smaller gardens. Its long flowering season, which spans from mid-summer often until the first frosts, guarantees a continuous show of rich, deep purple flower spikes. These tapered blooms are comprised of hundreds of tiny, fragrant florets, each with a minuscule orange eye that acts as a powerful nectar guide for a host of pollinators, especially butterflies.

To complement your 'Little Purple' patio tree and create a more complete look, consider planting other species around the base of its stem. The most important rule is to choose companions that share its preference for full sun and soil that drains well, ensuring all plants in the container are happy. For a sophisticated pairing, consider planting Lamb's Ear at its feet. Its soft, silvery-white, felted leaves will echo the tones of the Buddleja's own foliage, creating a harmonious and textural display that allows the deep purple flowers to truly stand out.
