Subject: Buddleja Silver Anniversary ( Morning Mist)
I just wanted to say this is my new favourite plant and I do have a very large garden. I bought mine this time last year and it is at least a metre tall and wide. I love every thing about it but one of its most endearing quality is it lasts in a flower arrangement for way over two weeks.
Abelia chinensis and Silver Anniversary ( Morning Mist) in a vase smells wonderful and outlasts most others. Binny plants in Scotland recommended it to me and I am so grateful. I and going to plant lots more so I don't feel so bad about cutting it.
This is really just to say
Thank you

Hello Peter
Thank you for giving us a hyperlink
to your website.
You wrote to Kerry re Buddleja Morning Mist/Silver Anniversary.
The plant has done well in our garden and the hardiness issue we worried about
originally has proved not to be a problem. So it has been popular with our
customers.
Kerry lives a couple of miles from here but her gardening experience is very
different. She can grow many plants that we dream about growing.
Kindest regards

Quite possibly the best Buddleja on the market.
Beautiful white sterile blooms with a mustard eye over show
stopping silver foliage,
This Peter Moore hybrid will raise the bar for the entire genus.

Very silver, showy, rounded, tidy shrub that grows well in the heat and loves the sun and absolutely shines in the garden. The flowers aren't exceptional, but it's the foliage on this one. I'm using it as a specimen in the gravel garden, but I'm eyeing it for a silver hedge- I just don't need a silver hedge at the moment. One of the best new plants on the market. I really like it.

In fact, the MBNZT has been entrusted to trial a new cultivar, B. Silver Anniversary, to be released later this year; we have been asked to measure how successful it is providing nectar for our butterflies – and bees too. ‘Silver Anniversary’ has clusters of white flowers with mustard coloured eyes and a sweet honey scent.
Bred by Peter Moore in the UK (the Keeper of the Buddleia Collection) it is being grown under licence by Lyndale Nurseries. According to the company licensed to sell the plant in the USA, the intensely silvered leaves topped with scented white flowers are great for attracting butterflies.
The stunning silver foliage is the
result of a cross between B. crispa and B. loricata.
Buddleias do best in full sun in moist, well-drained, fertile soils, but
are adaptable to poor soils, dry soils, and soils of various pH. They
are also tolerant of heat, drought, and high humidity, making it an
ideal plant for the summer.
Buddleja ‘Silver Anniversary’
One of the best looking silver plants we’ve seen for a long time. It is
a cross between Buddleja crispa and Buddleja loricata. Its striking
silver foliage will look great all summer in any mixed planting in the
sun. The clusters of white flowers have a mustard eye, sweet honey scent
and are loved by butterflies and bees
