Buddleja lindleyana 'Mayflower'

Buddleja lindleyana
Cultivar 'Mayflower'
Origin USA

Buddleja lindleyana 'Mayflower' is one of four lindleyana cultivars raised in the USA. [1]

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. [1]

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). [2] B. lindleyana and its cultivars are not fully hardy; USDA zones 7–9.[1]
