Buddleja - Weeping Variety
Buddleja – Weeping Variety

Buddleja (Buddleia) are a varied group of plants with a variety of flower and foliage forms. Over 20 species and 100s of named cultivars are available.

Popular species include Buddleja crispa, salvifolia, the yellow flowering Buddlea weyeriana, and B. colvilei. Both deciduous or evergreen varieties are available with the deciduous species being a little more hardy in cooler climates.

Coming from a wide range of climatic zones from the Himalayas through to Africa as well as some species from South America they do differ in care requirements.

Dwarf varieties are also available that are better suited to smaller gardens and can be grown in containers if required.
