Buddleja x davidii High Five Purple(‘podcept1’)
Butterfly Bush, Summer Lilac
I have just received the buddleja high five purple, a 2L/3L butterfly bush. I am disappointed: the branches are dry, no bud, not even a tiny one. I strongly doubt it will regain strength even in good conditions. I know my bushes, and I don't believe in miracles.

Description
Buddleia 'High Five Purple' is a new variety of butterfly bush that stands out for its double flowers and very small development. It is a compact and well-shaped bush, proudly displaying a generous summer flowering made up of long clusters of tightly packed small double flowers in a pretty mauve colour with an orange eye. This bush is extremely popular with butterflies that come to feed on its nectar. It is easy to grow in ordinary or even poor and occasionally dry soil, and it does not self-seed, unlike other Buddleia davidii. Its charm will work in gardens of all sizes, in perennial or shrub borders. It will also work wonders in a pot on a terrace.
Buddleia 'High Five Purple' ('podcept1') is a deciduous shrub belonging to the Scrophulariaceae (Buddlejaceae) family. This surprising American cultivar is derived, among others, from Buddleia davidii, also known as Father David's Buddleia or Changing Buddleia, a robust Chinese species that has become invasive in our climates. 'High Five Purple' is a truly dwarf variety and is currently the first double-flowered buddleia on the market.
The bush has a dense habit supported by upright branches. It will reach an average height of 55 cm (22 in) and a width of about the same in 2 or 3 years, depending on growing conditions. It flowers from July to September, producing an abundance of dense panicles of flowers measuring 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) long. These flowers are double, with a fairly light mauve colour and an orange eye, and they release a sweet scent that is very attractive to pollinators. Its ornamental foliage consists of fairly light green leaves with a greyish underside. The leaves, 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) long, are pointed and lanceolate. This very hardy bush is resistant to urban pollution, adapts to poor soils, and does not suffer from occasional drought when planted in deep soil.
Whether planted alone or in groups, in a perennial border, at the corner of a terrace, or in a pot on a balcony, Buddleia 'High Five Purple' will enhance even the humblest setting. Its inflorescences, visited by multicoloured butterflies, are a spectacle in themselves. They also complement the pink or red flowers of repeat-flowering roses, the pink panicles of Spirea billardii, or the corollas of California poppies. It adapts well to coastal areas and urban pollution. Its fragrant flowers are also very attractive in bouquets. You can also plant this buddleia with bright yellow evening primroses and small grasses (Stipa, Carex, Muhlenbergia) for an elegant contrast.

Planting and care
Buddleia 'High Five Purple' is easy to grow, as it is a low-maintenance plant. It thrives in sunny locations, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary, well-worked and well-drained soil. It can tolerate limestone and poor soil. Once established, the plant will tolerate periods of moderate drought. It has no significant enemies. However, beware of caterpillars, weevils, and red spider mites that can infest it. Pruning vigorously after flowering and/or in early spring maintains a compact and branching habit and encourages abundant flowering.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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.
