Description

The Buddleia davidii ‘Tiny Buddy® Deep Blue’ is an adorable dwarf butterfly bush perfect for small gardens, patios and balconies. This cultivar charms with its cushion-like flowering habit and its summer deep blue, fragrant, and very attractive flowering to pollinators. With its 50 cm height, it integrates easily into the edge of a flowerbed and works wonders in a pot. Hardy and water-efficient, it requires little maintenance. Ideal for a lively garden in flower, even in the city!

The Buddleia davidii 'Tinpurbud' Tiny Buddy® Deep Blue is a horticultural hybrid derived notably from the species Buddleia davidii, belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family. This sterile cultivar created by Scott C. Trees in the U.S.A and developed by Star Roses & Plants, was selected for its exceptionally compact habit and its abundant summer flowering in clusters of deep blue, lightly scented blooms. 
Unlike the species type, the Tiny Buddy® Deep Blue does not exceed 50 cm in height and width. Its deciduous, lanceolate, greyish-green foliage measures between 7 and 13 cm and falls in autumn to reappear in spring. The young stems with a quadrangular section have a dense felt-like covering. Flowering is from June to September, consistsing of terminal panicles of 10 to 15 cm with abundant small dark blue flowers. Very melliferous, they attract butterflies and pollinators. As it does not produce seeds, this buddleia is non-invasive.

The Buddleia Tiny Buddy® Deep Blue is a versatile, easy to grow and undemanding mini-bush. Whether in a pot, integrated into a bed of perennials or low bushes, it remains decorative all summer. This variety adapts equally well to small urban gardens and coastal gardens. Create a  blue and mauve display by pairing it for example with Lavender ‘Hidcote’, with sage Salvia nemorosa ‘Caradonna’ and with Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’. Add a touch of tenderness with the Dwarf Rose 'Bordure Rose'. These robust and floriferous plants will complement the buddleia perfectly in a low bed or in a container.
