Buddleja White Bouquet

A beautiful old cultivar of the common buddleja, Buddleja davidii White Bouquet is a tall, vigorous, deciduous shrub grown for its lovely, pure white flowers from July onwards. Long, grey-green leaves set off the panicles of fragrant white flowers, with their tiny golden eyes. The habit is dense and spreading, with arching branches. Cut back hard to about 3 in early spring to keep the bush from straggling, and dead-head to improve flowering. Buddleja White Bouquet is lovely at the back of a border behind roses, in front of evergreens and in a green and white planting. Good for wildlife, and a magnet to butterflies and bees.
