[Blue Heron Farm listing](https://thievonproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/Inventory/INVblueheron.pdf) ## Siting The RHS recommends a sunny location and well-drained soil for many Buddleja, with watering during establishment and care to avoid persistently wet ground. NC State Extension describes the genus as including shrubs with fragrant, nectar-producing panicles, while noting wide variation between species. Treat this as genus-level guidance and use the plant’s own size label when choosing spacing.

Deadhead after bloom where appropriate, and follow local selection-specific guidance if available. [RHS growing guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/buddleja/growing-guide)
