Description

Buddleja davidii Tiny Buddy® Hot Pink is a miniature butterfly bush, perfect for cheering up small gardens, balconies and sunny patios. This variety forms a neat cushion that is covered all summer with bright pink, lightly scented spikes, visited by pollinators. Plant it in a flowering border, a decorative pot or a low bed. Undemanding of water, easy to prune and non-invasive, this butterfly bush offers maximum impact for minimum upkeep!

Buddleja davidii ‘Condappin’ cov, sold under the name Tiny Buddy® Hot Pink, is a patented dwarf cultivar from the Tiny Buddy® series, known for its compact, sterile and floriferous varieties. This miniature buddleia has a naturally rounded, dense cushion-like habit, reaching 40 to 50 cm in height and width at maturity. Its growth is moderate, its structure well-branched from the base, and it produces neither suckers nor spontaneous seedlings.
From June to September, this butterfly bush is covered in upright spikes measuring 15 to 25 cm long, filled with bright, luminous pink tubular flowers with a light fragrance. These nectar-rich flowers attract butterflies, bees and other pollinating insects. 
The deciduous foliage is composed of opposite, narrow, lanceolate, 5 to 10 cm long leaves. They are a beautiful bluish-green colour on top with a slightly downy silvery-grey underside. Like all buddleias, this cultivar flowers on the current year’s wood. It is hardy down to -25°C.
Tiny Buddy® Hot Pink holds a Formidable Plant® label, a guarantee of quality, robustness and performance for both amateur and professional gardeners.

Buddleja Tiny Buddy® Hot Pink is a small shrub ideal for creating lively summer scenes, even in a restricted space. Its well-defined cushion habit and bright pink flowering looks good in flowering pots, borders or low beds. It pairs well with compact perennials such as Gaura lindheimeri ‘Whirling Butterflies’shrubby sage ‘Nachtvlinder’ or Geranium ‘Rozanne’. For a natural and colourful feel, it can be combined with grasses such as Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Hameln Gold’. Very decorative in a pot on a sunny patio, it also attracts beneficial wildlife.
