Pruning a Buddleja davidii 'Pink Delight'

Regular pruning not only keeps the plant tidy but also supports its rich flowering, making it a delightful addition to any garden.

Watering a Buddleja davidii 'Pink Delight'

Check the soil before watering; it should be dry to the touch. Watering is most effective in the early morning or late afternoon to reduce evaporation. During dry spells, ensure the plant receives enough moisture. Rainwater can be a great alternative to tap water. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot.

Ensure nutrients reach the roots by watering the garden during dry spells, helping the fertiliser dissolve into the soil. This practice supports the plant's overall health and flowering potential.
