Buddleja
madagascariensis
Tall evergreen shrub
with white/grey felty leaves and scented orange yellow flowers
all winter, although grown in a few gardens outside in Cornwall,
Buddleja madagascariensis does best in the UK as a conservatory
plant. It is a typical Buddleja in that it tolerates poor soils
and dry conditions. As the name implies it comes from Madagascar
and arrived in the UK in 1827 (min 0c for the flowers but the plant will go down
to -8c)
