Buddleja colvilei is endemic to the eastern Himalaya; discovered by Hooker in 1849, he declared it 'the handsomest of all Himalayan shrubs.' [1] In 1896 the species was awarded the RHS First Class Certificate (FCC),[2] given to plants 'of outstanding excellence for exhibition'.[3]
B. colvilei is a deciduous large shrub or small tree which can grow> 13 m, often single stemmed. The flowers are arranged in drooping panicles, 15–20 cm long by> 8 cm wide, rose pink to crimson, but often white within the corolla tube. The flowers are among the largest of any in the genus, and appear in June. The leaves are < 25 cm long, narrow, shallowly - toothed, and tapered at either end.[1] This species has a high degree of polyploidy with a correspondingly high chromosome number of 2n = 152–456 (8x–24x).[4]
The shrub is not entirely hardy in the UK, and can only be reliably grown outdoors along the Atlantic coast.[1] Hardiness: United States Department of Agriculture zones 8–9.[5]
