Cultivar 'Gloster' | Origin USA | |
Buddleja lindleyana 'Gloster' is one of four new lindleyana cultivars raised in the USA.
Contents
Description
'Gloster' has a smaller stature than the species, growing to a height of 1.5 m in US trials, and is distinguished by the length of its purple-violet panicles, which can reach 50 cm. However, all of the cultivars remain aggressive colonizers, capable of producing innumerable root suckers.
Cultivation
Examples of all the cultivars were sent to the Longstock Park Nursery in the UK by the Bernheim Arboretum for assessment, but only 'Miss Virie' survives (2012). B. lindleyana and its cultivars are not fully hardy; USDA zones 7–9.
