Description
Buddleia davidii Peacock, also known as Buddleja davidii Peacock ('Peakeep') (English Butterfly Series), is a medium-sized bush with dense foliage and a beautiful summer to autumn flowering. It takes the form of large panicles of pinkish-purple flowers with a small orange centre. These flowers are particularly popular with butterflies. This deciduous bush is spectacular in full bloom. It also has beautiful green and fuzzy foliage, which is more grey on the underside. Its modest size allows for easy integration into a small garden, in a shrub border, in a flowering hedge, but also in a container on a patio.
Buddleia davidii Peacock is a deciduous bush with a spreading and compact habit, belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family. This relatively recent cultivar comes from David's Buddleia, also known as Father David's Buddleia or the Changing Buddleia, a robust Chinese species that has become invasive in our climate. Peacock will reach approximately 1.5 m (4 .9 ft) in height and 1.5 m to 2 m (4.9 ft to 6.6 ft) in spread within 4 or 5 years. It produces sturdy, branched and arching stems that give it a lovely bushy and open habit. It blooms from July to September, producing an abundance of dense panicles of flowers measuring 15 cm to 25 cm (5.9 in to 9.8 in) long. These flowers are pinkish-purple with an orange eye and release a sweet fragrance, which is very attractive to pollinators. The ornamental foliage of this bush consists of long, soft green leaves, with a greyish fuzz on the underside. The leaves, measuring 12 cm to 20 cm (4.7 in to 7.9 in) long, are pointed and lanceolate. This very hardy bush is resistant to urban pollution and can tolerate occasional drought in deep soil.
Whether planted individually or in groups, in a hedge or at the back of a perennial border, Buddleia davidii Peacock will enhance any garden. Its pink inflorescences complement the orange, salmon, and pink flowers of roses, as well as the colourful panicles of summer lilacs. You can also plant it in a small, informal hedge to create a separation between two themed areas in the garden. It adapts well to coastal areas and can be grown in large pots. Its fragrant flowers are also lovely in bouquets. You can pair it with Japanese Spireas or tall grasses (Miscanthus, Panicum, Deschampsia) for an elegant contrast.

Planting and care
Buddleia davidii Peacock is easy to grow, as it is a low-maintenance plant that adapts to a wide range of soils and climates. It enjoys sunny locations, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary soil. It will even tolerate chalky and mediocre soil, as long as it is well-worked and well-drained. Once well-established, the plant will tolerate periods of moderate drought. David's buddleia has no significant enemies. However, be careful of caterpillars, weevils, bugs and red spider mites that can invade it. Pruning vigorously after flowering and/or in early spring maintains the habit and compactness and encourages the bush to produce numerous flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
