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.

Thank you

Hello Peter

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
