I have had my eye on this shrub for a couple of years before it became available and was delighted to receive it in excellent condition. It took off in an enormous pot and grew and grew in all directions. However, despite it having a weeping habit, in truth it just looked a dishevelled mess, with the flowers taking longer to colour up than other buddlejas in the neighbourhood. Until then they were just a rather non descript colour. Yes, in the end the flowers did hang down creating the effect of Wisteria. However it was all rather an anti-climax, and did not live up to expectations. All in all, an untidy and at times tatty looking plant.

I planted this last year in a fairly dry, narrow border next to a wall, with pink English shrub roses. I have been really impressed with the attractive weeping habit and the constant supply of flowers if dead-headed...almost to Christmas. Very quick to establish and so far a dwarf shrub, so provided it does not get any bigger this is a five-star purchase.

This was such a great discovery. It has a beautiful arching habit in a really compact form that is ideal for a patio or container garden. The flower heads are long and pendulous and beautiful. And there are lots of them, even in the first year, and even in light shade. You need a really good reason not to buy one of these. I'm already looking forward to what it will do in 2019! I honestly think about this plant quite a lot.

Great. I wanted something small for my limited spaced garden in central London. It filled a gap perfectly - the idea of having a small version of the huge one appealed. It arrived as a limited size (I think a couple of hardened tall twigs) but, almost instantly, took off in to a green bushy thing with the purple droops hanging not long after...) now debating / googling whether to cut it right back this early spring ahead of 2019 - trusting how small it started when it arrived last year - to bloom in to something perfect again this year. I kept on dead heading right in to the end of autumn 2018 but it still had blooms very late on (again, perks of living in a very mild spot in the UK). Looking forward to seeing how it performs now that it's settled in! Now plotting this summer...

This has proved to be a healthy and floriferous shrub with an attractive, bushy habit. The flowers hang down and if deadheaded regularly repeat throughout summer and autumn. I have been very impressed in this first year and if it stays reasonably dwarf then it will be a valuable addition to the garden.

Used in a mixed border, quite near the front. It was smothered in long pendant flowers in the summer and attracted butterflies. It is very different than any other Buddleja due to the very long pendant flowers. It still performed very well even though I have poor dry soil.
