Description
'Mayflower' has a smaller stature than the species, growing to a height of 1.5 m in US trials, but retains the purple-violet panicles. 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 Vicie' survives (2012). B. lindleyana and its cultivars are not fully hardy; USDA zones 7–9.
