Years of painstaking breeding work by a team of specialists were rewarded with the announcement, at The Grower of the Year Awards, that T&M had won one of the most important awards of the night – the Best New Plant Variety.

Buddleja 'Buzz'™ is the first Buddleja that has been bred specifically to be a dwarf variety, so it's ideal for growing in patio pots and containers.

It still boasts all the qualities of its larger cousins – such as the huge sprays of flowers that are known for attracting butterflies and wildlife – but will grow to just three feet high.

The win for Buddleja 'Buzz'™, which comes in lavender and magenta, is the second time T&M has scooped the prize for the Best New Plant Variety – Pansy 'Friolina' took the award in 2008.

Buddleja 'Buzz'™ is available for 9.99 from www.thompson-morgan.com
