How to grow
Buddleja salviifolia is easy to grow and thrives in full sun to light shade with well-drained soil, including poor or rocky types. Plant in spring or autumn and water regularly during establishment; once established, it becomes highly drought-tolerant. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain shape, while a harder prune every few years will rejuvenate older plants.
