Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Showy silver foliage and very large clusters of very-fragrant bright-white flowers make this 9-10' British introduction well named; great cut flower and butterflies love it; prune 6" from ground in early spring B. crispa x loricata. S/M PP17332
White blooms with a mustard yellow center over unique silver foliage with a lighter underside. Used primarily for the color, this is a beautiful plant to use for contrast and to highlight darker leaved shrubs.The  unique foliage of  'Silver Anniversary' makes it ideal for mass plantings in border gardens or effective for a single contrast bush in a perennial bed. Flowers are sterile.
The incredible British hybrid (B. crispa x B. loricata) selected by Peter Moore, curator of the national Buddleia Collection, is a blooming machine with highly honey scented white blooms over shimmering intensely silver foliage from mid-summer until Fall! Much more silver and stronger growing than either parent and to date, has been sterile, never set seed. This 2005 introduction will raise the bar one Buddleias! PP17332
