A beautiful rare, new and unusual Buddleja with an identity crisis.Large, dense, honey-scented spikes up to 50cm (20″) long, gently weep from wiry stems looking rather like a wisteria throughout the summer. Relatively compact, so happy in borders and containers attracting masses of butterflies and other pollinating insects. Rabbit resistant and drought or heat tolerant. Prefers well-drained soil in sun. Fully hardy perennial.
