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.
