Buddleja davidii 'Ile de France' is one of the older davidii cultivars, a French introduction by Auguste Nonin at Chatillon-sous-Bagneux circa 1930. [1]
Description[edit]
'Ile de France' typically grows to a height and spread of 3.0 × 3.0 m. The cultivar is distinguished by its dense, upright, arching growth, and long panicles of deep violet-purple flowers, with yellowish orange throats, however the flowers fade after a few days to a pale lilac. The leaves are an unremarkable green and of average size for the species.[2][3]
Cultivation[edit]
'Ile de France' became widely established on both sides of the Atlantic, but is now increasingly rare in the face of the competition from the plethora of new cultivars. In the UK, a specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by the Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire. Hardiness: USDA zones 5–9. [1]
