Buddleja Leah White

Elegant and irresistibly fragrant, Buddleja Leah White is a compact butterfly bush that produces masses of pure white flower spikes throughout the warmer months. Its luminous blooms contrast beautifully with the plant’s fresh green foliage and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, bringing movement and life to the garden.

As part of the new generation of smaller, easy-care Buddleja, Leah White is perfectly suited to today’s modern gardens. It thrives in full sun to part shade, is both frost and drought tolerant, and requires very little water once established. Its naturally tidy growth habit makes it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, low hedging, and decorative pots.

Flowering from early spring well into late autumn—and continuing into winter in mild areas—this hardy and waterwise shrub provides exceptional long-season colour. Light deadheading helps extend blooming, while a hard prune in winter promotes strong, bushy growth for the following season.
