Buddleja 'Podaras15', selling name Flutterby Petite Snow White, is a sterile hybrid cultivars that Peter Podaras raised while at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and that Cornell patented as 'Podaras#15' in 2011. Flutterby Petite Snow White was derived from the crossing (B. davidii × B. alternifolia) × B. davidii.[1]

Description[]

Flutterby Petite Snow White is a small shrub with a rounded, spreading habit, growing to 0.75 m (2.5 ft) in height and 0.75 m (2.5 ft) in width, with loose compound terminal and axillary panicles about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) long and 3.5 cm (1.4 in) wide, comprising around 60 scentless white flowers. The flowers emerge in spring and persist until the first frosts of the fall in California. The opposite, narrowly elliptical leaves are about 6 cm (2.4 in) long and 1.6 cm (0.6 in) wide, pubescent above and below. The plant is sterile.[1][2][3] Because the cultivar is non-invasive, the government of Oregon has approved it for sale in the state, unlike the banned Buddleja davidii.[4]

Cultivation[]

Flutterby Petite Snow White was introduced to Europe in 2012 by Plantipp, The Netherlands, as one of their Free Petite™ series.[5] 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.[6] The shrub is reportedly hardy to −29 °C (−20 °F).[2]

Hardiness: USDA zones 5a–10a.[3]
