This is the little shrub which came in the summer looking straggly and uncared for. It's in a tub and after a couple of weeks I cut it right back and just look at it now. It has lots of flower spikes on it this late in the year. I think it will be really pretty next year.

It's Buddliea x Weyeriana Louise, not that I know the difference, but I am really pleased with it, shame it is the wrong time of the year, but I am sure it will come into its' own next years.

Looks a very interesting and pretty plant, do you know how big it grows?

Supposedly it can grow to 6' to 8', but as with my bi-colour one, I shall keep it pruned back and I think in tubs they are easier to contain. It is not supposed to like being in a tub or pruned back hard, but as I said to it 'you have two chances Mr B, like it or lump it' and so far so good LOL.
Louis, apparently it is a cross between a Globosa and a Davidii. I have seen some with little globe shaped flowers in SunGold, but this one seems to have the Davidii shaped ones.
