Where can I get a Buddleia plant around Albox to Antas area and when is the right time to plant or trance plant. Also is it possible to get an Azalea bush at this time of year?

Try the garden centre on the roundabout, immediately opposite where you go to Lopez ferrateria. 

The lady in there is very helpful/knowledgeable.   On Saturday, there's a young girl who speaks some English.   Alternatively,  use you good friend Google for the info on planting times etc.

I don't think they will have the plants in stock if it's not the right time for them (I tried to buy chillies but was too early, so she didn't have them)

Hi...These are two very English Plants...

Buddleia can be grown here in different varieties...beware  if your looking for English Varieties you'll search forever...

Azaleas...well that's a much harder question...These are acid loving plants and they will never tolerate the soils we have...Yes you can use peat based compost and grow in pots...But then there is the watering.. 

You'll need to water most days and the tap water pretty much anywhere in the south of Spain has too much Cal in the water...Again...You can use air-conditioning water... and if you have a condenser tumble dryer...use that water too...

 BUT I'm Telling you...it will still be a real struggle...These plants come from China and the cold parts of China...they do not like the heat...lets alone the sun!! Sorry...But Im only telling you my gardening experience of many years of living in Southern Spain
