Butterfly Bush ‘White Bouquet’ is a flowering shrub valued for its ability to bring movement, colour, and pollinator activity into the summer garden. Buddleja davidii is widely recognised as one of the most reliable shrubs for wildlife-friendly planting.

This variety produces long, elegant panicles of pure white flowers, creating a bright and refined display from mid summer into early autumn. The blooms are lightly fragrant and continue for many weeks, particularly when faded flower heads are regularly removed.

‘White Bouquet’ grows as a fast-growing deciduous shrub, gradually reaching approximately 2 to 3 metres in height. It performs well as a border feature, within mixed shrub plantings, or as part of a flowering hedge.

For best results, plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Once established, butterfly bushes are tolerant and thrive in warm, open positions where they can flower freely throughout the season.

This shrub flowers on new growth, so pruning back firmly in early spring encourages strong fresh stems and abundant flowering each year.

For gardeners seeking long-lasting summer blooms combined with constant pollinator activity, ‘White Bouquet’ offers a bright and dependable addition to the garden.
