Buddleja Humdinger 'Magenta Munchkin' is a compact shrub bearing bright magenta flower spikes above medium green foliage.
The word "humdinger" is defined as ‘something that is very impressive or exciting’, then it definitely applies to this Buddleja collection. In addition to heavy blooming starting in midsummer, each of these varieties has a compact habit and shorter stature. The Buddleja Humdinger collection is a great flowering shrub for gardeners who want to attract bee, butterfly and birds. They are easily kept in good shape and hold form well in both larger containers or gardens.
Buddleja Humdinger fits beautifully into smaller, sunny gardens because of its compact, rounded habit, or makes a great option for mid-level plantings in cottage gardens.
Buddlejas should be planted in a full sun location with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage new growth. Studies have shown that adding lime to the soil will result in increased growth and better floral quality. They are also moderately drought tolerant once established.
Wear gloves & wash hands after gardening.
