Buddleia fallowiana 'Lochinch' BUTTERFLY BUSH Dec (z7) (Fra,Bfly,Hon)
The undersides of the wide, gray-grn leaves are covered with white, woolly hairs on this tender med-sized shrub, but that doesn't keep the butter-flies from enjoying the long clusters of fragrant lilac-blue fls.S/M

This plant grew for 4 years in my yard, and I just loved it's rounded shape and silvery foliage. However, this past winter was wet and wild (back to normal) and the lochinch never appeared at all this year. I"ve replaced it with nanho blue, hopefully hardier.

I purchased a collection of 6 butterfly bushes from Springhill nurseries in early spring. Of the 6 tiny plants I received, only the Lochinch, and Potter's Purple seem to have thrived and bloomed, although all received similar locations and care. The rest - honeycomb, pink delight, harlequin and royal red appear stunted and I don't know if they will survive their first winter here. I am pleased with the two noted above, however.
