Butterfly Bush ‰ۡÌÝÌáBlack Knight' is a large, hardy, deciduous shrub that has an arching habit of javelin-like leaves̴Ì?that̴Ì?boast gorgeously elongated, dark-purple, fragrant flowers.
Well-known for its wonderfully bright and fragrant flowers, which are loved by butterflies, the Buddleja davidii ‰ۡÌÝÌáBlack Knight‰ۡó» is the perfect addition to any sunny-placed border. If you prune well in Spring, you will be gifted with densely packed spikes of tiny, purple flowers.
Please note, we do recommend deadheading your Butterfly Bush, as to encourage increased flower production.
It will reach an ultimate height and spread of 3m x 5m.
Please place your Butterfly Bush ‰ۡÌÝÌáBlack Knight‰ۡó» in a sunny or partially shaded position, and in chalk, clay, loam, or sand-based soil- it must be moist and well-drained. It can tolerate both sheltered and exposed sites.
As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
To prune your shrub, cut back the previous year‰ۡó»s flowering stems down to about one or two buds. You must also remove any weak, dead, or thin growth. This should all be done in the middle of Spring. After pruning, we recommend applying some mulch and feed to the base of the plant.

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
