Buddleja saligna Seeds

False Olive, Bastard Olive

Fragrant & profusely borne clusters of creamy white, honey scented flowers practically cover this rare, South African Buddleja from spring to mid-summer. It’s easy, fast growing & evergreen. Also frost hardy, drought tolerant & does not have an aggressive root system. Usually growing 12’ tall & wide, it has an attractive form & can be clipped easily to form a quick screen or hedge or just to keep it tidy. It can even be used as a bonsai specimen. Pretty, creamy bark is fluted & peels off in vertical strips. The long, narrow leaves resemble those of an Olive. Grows in most soils but adding compost makes it prettier. Attracts butterflies!
