Buddleja 'Longstock Silver'

Buddleja hybrid
Cultivar 'Longstock Silver'
Origin Peter Moore, Longstock Park Nursery, UK.

Buddleja 'Longstock Silver' is possibly unique as a sterile hybrid cultivar grown entirely for its foliage. Raised by Peter Moore, Chief Propagator at the Longstock Park Nursery in Hampshire, England, the cultivar is the result of a crossing of Buddleja crispa var. agathosma and Buddleja alternifolia 'Argentea', released to commerce in 2010.

Description

'Longstock Silver' grows to a height of 3 m, and is distinguished by its silver-grey foliage; there are virtually no flowers. [1]

Cultivation

'Longstock Silver' is not known to be in cultivation beyond the UK. A specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national collection at the Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge [1]
