Buddleja davidii 'Lavender Cupcake' is a delightful, compact butterfly bush that brings a burst of color to any garden. This deciduous shrub is characterized by its tidy, rounded shape, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or container gardening. Throughout the summer months, it showcases an impressive display of lavender-purple flower spikes, each adorned with striking orange eyes that add a touch of vibrancy. The blooms typically appear from mid-summer and can continue to grace the garden well into early autumn, providing a long-lasting source of beauty.

One of the standout features of 'Lavender Cupcake' is its ability to attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it a fantastic addition for those looking to support local wildlife. The dense, conical clusters of flowers not only create a stunning visual impact but also serve as a vital food source for these beneficial creatures. The grey-green foliage provides a lovely contrast to the vivid flower spikes, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the plant and ensuring it remains a focal point in any garden setting.

This butterfly bush thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, making it relatively easy to care for. Its compact size allows it to fit seamlessly into borders, pots, or even as a feature plant in small-space gardens. Additionally, 'Lavender Cupcake' is hardy in most regions of the UK, making it a reliable choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of color and attract pollinators without requiring extensive maintenance. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting, this charming shrub is sure to bring joy and beauty to your outdoor space. Height: 80 cm (2.6 ft) Spread: 80 cm (2.6 ft).

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
