The packaging box that contained 6 young plants had a hole in it. Some stem tips were broken, nevertheless these minor inconveniences should prove to be inconsequential. I am awaiting spring to confirm the quality of the plants and the planter...

Description
Buddleja davidii 'Nanho Purple' is a beautiful dwarf variety, with a compact and gracefully open habit, ideal for small spaces. This hardy bush produces deep purple panicles, 15 cm (5.9 in) long, from June to October. Multitudes of small violet flowers with red-orange hearts emerge from dense clusters, against a beautiful silver-green foliage, attracting numerous butterflies with their sweet fragrance. Its modest size makes it particularly suitable for small spaces and perennial borders.
Buddleja davidii 'Nanho Purple' is a deciduous bush with a spreading and compact habit, belonging to the Scrophulariaceae (Buddlejaceae) family. It reaches approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in height and spread. It produces stout and arching branches, giving it a lovely bushy and weeping habit. With rapid growth, it flowers from June to October, producing abundant dense clusters of flowers, 15 cm (5.9 in) long. These flowers are intense purple with a red-orange eye, and release a sweet fragrance that is highly attractive to pollinating insects. Its ornamental foliage consists of long silver-green leaves, covered with a grey down on the underside. The leaves are pointed and lanceolate, measuring 12 cm to 20 cm (4.7 in to 7.9 in) in length. This hardy bush can tolerate occasional drought in deep soil.
Whether planted individually or in groups, as a hedge or at the back of a perennial border, Buddleja davidii 'Nanho Purple' will enhance any garden. Its subtly silver-toned foliage will complement red roses or the colourful panicles of summer lilacs. It can also be planted in a small free-standing hedge to separate themed areas in the garden. It adapts well to coastal areas and can be grown in large pots. In a monochromatic theme, for example, it can be paired with a small purple Rudbeckia like the variety 'Little Magnus', whose contrasting flower shape will complement it nicely. These fragrant flowers are also beautiful in bouquets.

Planting and care
Buddleja davidii 'Nanho 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 mediocre 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.
