Buddleja 'Pink Pagoda'

Buddleja 'Pink Pagoda' (sold as InSpired Pink in the USA) is a sterile hybrid cultivar,[1] raised in 1998 by Peter Moore, Chief Propagator at the Longstock Park Nursery in Hampshire, England, and named by Roy Lancaster. The cultivar is the result of a crossing of Buddleja 'Pink Delight' with Buddleja × weyeriana 'Golden Glow'. [2] Plant Breeders' Rights were awarded in 2008.
