Buddleja 'Podaras9', selling name Flutterby Pink, is a sterile hybrid cultivar that Peter Podaras raised while at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and that Cornell patented in 2011. Flutterby Pink was derived from the crossing of two unnamed, unknown selections of Buddleja davidii.[1]

Description[]

Flutterby Pink makes a small shrub with an upright growing habit. Growing to a maximum height and spread of 1.2 × 1.5 m, the shrub bears compound terminal and axillary panicles about 8 cm long by 5 cm wide, each comprising around 250 faintly fragrant pale purple-violet flowers. The flowers emerge in spring and persist until the first frosts of the fall. The opposite, elliptic to lanceolate leaves are about 9 cm long by 3 cm wide, lanulose above and below.[1][2]

Cultivation[]

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 2016.[3] The shrub is reportedly hardy to −29 °C (−20 °F).[2]

Hardiness: USDA zones 5a–10a.[2]
