Description
Argus White is a small shrub growing to a height of 1.2 m, bearing upright, rather sparse panicles of pure white flowers. The cultivar is semi-sterile, and thus unlikely to become invasive.[4]
Cultivation
Argus White is in commerce in the UK, and Europe; it was introduced to the USA in 2013, where it is marketed by Proven Winners LLC, Illinois, as InSpired White. [5] In the UK, a specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire.
