This buddleia does not seem as popular as the many davidii varieties yet this is an incredibly handsome species. It is a large flowering shrub and in my opinion looks the best in and out of flower compared to other species and varieties. This is mainly due to its weeping habit.
It is not fussy where it is planted and will tolerate most soil - even fairly infertile dry soil.
To get the best out of this shrub, prune out about a third of the old wood after flowering.
You can take cuttings in summer.
