Description
Buddleja ‘White Ball’ is a compact, naturally rounded butterfly bush bred for smaller gardens, borders, and container planting. Unlike traditional Buddlejas, this variety forms a neat, ball-shaped shrub covered in crisp white flower spikes from summer through to early autumn.
The bright white blooms are lightly scented and highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, making this an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens where space is limited. Its tidy habit means little shaping is required, and it fits easily into mixed borders, patio containers, and contemporary planting schemes.
Hardy, fast-growing, and easy to maintain, ‘White Ball’ flowers on new growth and responds well to annual spring pruning. Supplied in a 2-litre pot, it is well established and ready to deliver strong colour and pollinator interest in its first season.
