Family:  Buddleiaceae
Author:  Lour.
 
Known Hazards:  None known
 
Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:  3
 
Habitat:  Second growth forest, grass, savanah, landslips and deserted village sites[146].



Cultivation Notes:  Requires a sunny position, succeeding in most reasonably good soils so long as they are well-drained[1, 11, 182, 200]. Prefers a rich loamy soil[11]. Plants are very tolerant of alkaline soils[200]. Of doubtful hardyness in most of Britain, but one report says that it succeeds outdoors in S. Cornwall[1] whilst other reports say that it might be hardy on a south or southwest facing wall in the mildest areas of this country[11, 166, 182, 188]. So long as the plant is well mulched it resprouts freely from the base if cut back by severe weather[200]. A very ornamental plant[1], the cut flowers last well in water[200]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Any pruning is best done after flowering[200]. An excellent plant for bees and butterflies. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
