Robust and easy to care for: Chinese Buddleia (Buddleja alternifolia)

The Chinese or alternate summer lilac is a very vigorous, up to four meters high and just as wide species. The shrub develops long, thin, widely spread and overhanging branches and is best shown on wall crowns and in large planters. In June / July there are lilac-purple, tartly fragrant flowers in numerous, four to five centimeters wide clusters along the entire length of the previous year's branches. The Chinese buddleia can be combined well with roses or other small shrubs that bloom in summer, such as beard flowers (Caryopteris), blue rute or silver bush (Perovskia) or finger bush (Potentilla). It prefers a sunny and dry location.
