Contents
Description
'Miss Virie' has a smaller stature than the species, growing to a height of 1.5 m in US trials. The purple-violet inflorescences are typical of the species in all but scale. 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). There are no plans to release the cultivar to the UK market. B. lindleyana and its cultivars are not fully hardy; USDA zones 7–9.
