Buddleja alternifolia ‘Argentea’

Buddleja alternifolia ‘Argentea’

Argentea Butterfly Bush

This silver leaved butterfly bush is a gorgeous selection of Buddleja alternifolia having leaves covered by silky hairs which gives the plant its silvery appearance. It’s perhaps best grown as a standard to show its graceful weeping habit to the greatest advantage. As it is native of Gansu, a province in northwest China, where it is very hot and dry during summer and very cold during winter Buddleja argentea will tolerate the most difficult spots in the garden as long as it gets full sun. The sweetly scented flowers, which are attractive to bees and butterflies, festoon the weeping branches during spring and early summer.
