Buddleja 'Longstock Silver'
Buddleja 'Longstock Silver' is possibly unique as a sterile hybrid cultivar grown solely for its foliage. Raised by Peter Moore, Chief Propagator at the Longstock Park Nursery in Hampshire, England, the cultivar is the result of a crossing of Buddleja crispa var. agathosma and Buddleja alternifolia 'Argentea', released to commerce in 2010.
