Buddleja 'Wind Tor'

Buddleja hybrid

'Wind Tor', Longstock Park, UK
Cultivar 'Wind Tor'

The cultivar Buddleja 'Wind Tor' is of unknown origin, and its taxonomy a matter of contention; one English authority lists it as a cultivar of Buddleja davidii,[1] whilst numerous European nurseries claim it to be a hybrid of undisclosed parentage, with one Italian emporium even venturing its source as Japan.

Description

Hard-pruned annually 'Wind Tor' should grow no more than 1.5 m in height, its combination of pale lilac-blue panicles, 15 - 20 cm long, and silver-grey foliage drawing comparison with 'Lochinch'. [1]

Cultivation

'Wind Tor' is cultivated in the UK, USA, Netherlands, Germany and Italy. In the UK, 'Wind Tor' is included in the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by Longstock Park near Stockbridge, Hampshire.
