Buddleja 'Podaras12', selling name Flutterby Flow Lavender (USA and UK) or Free Petite Lavender Flow (Europe), is a sterile hybrid cultivar that Peter Podaras raised while at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and that Cornell patented in 2012. Flutterby Flow Lavender was derived from the hybrid Buddleja davidii × Buddleja alternifolia backcrossed with another unnamed selection of Buddleja davidii.[1]
Description[edit]
Flutterby Flow Lavender is a dwarf shrub with a compact, outwardly-spreading habit. Growing to a height of 0.6 m (2.0 ft) and width of 1.2 m (3.9 ft), the shrub bears compound terminal and axillary panicles about 9.7 cm (3.8 in) long and 4.5 cm (1.8 in) wide, each comprising around 160 faintly fragrant lavender-blue flowers. The flowers emerge in spring and persist until the first frosts of the fall. The opposite, narrowly elliptic are about 7.4 cm (2.9 in) and 1.2 cm (0.5 in) wide, pubescent above and below. The plant is sterile and non-invasive.[1][2]
Cultivation[edit]
In the United Kingdom, several specimens were introduced to the National Council for the Conservation of Plants and Gardens (NCCPG)'s National Plant Collection at the Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire in 2012.[3] The shrub is reportedly hardy to −29 °C (−20 °F).[2]
