My second Buddleja introduction and arguably the more interesting of the two is this strikingly silver leaved form. Underside of the leaves and young stems are coated in a fuzzy silver-grey tomentose layer (better seen in later images). The silvery nature of the plant is best seen from being positioned lower than the top, so might be one for towards to top of a bank or slope. Flowers are sweetly scented and quite compact in a violet-blue colour. It is still a decent size though and isn’t a dwarf form, which I’m not into. I like it. It serves the silver purpose with Summer flower that I selected it for. I have chosen a name for it, (to be confirmed), but feel free to volunteer your thoughts. (Strikingly Silver, did resonate when I wrote it there.) . A pretty thing, if I do say so myself. .
