Alternate-Leaf Butterfly Bush (Buddleia alternifolia
'Argentea')
 |
A delightful weeping plant,
this spring-blooming variety of Buddleia is one of the hardiest, as well as one of the
tallest, growing up to 12-15'. It will grow in full sun to partial shade and likes
moderate watering. It will tolerate most of our soils and exposures, however it does not
like real wet feet. |

The foliage is willow-like with a bluish-green color throughout the season. | |
 |
The small, pinkish-lavender flowers are produced in mid to late spring on drooping branches. Loved by butterflies, they bloom on old wood. | |
 |
Seedpods add fall and winter interest. |
