Buddleja\/Buddleia<\/em>\u00a0hybrid | <\/em>Butterfly Bush ‘Hever Castle’ (B. alternifolia x B. caryopteridifolia<\/em>)<\/p>\n

‘Hever Castle’ Butterfly Bush is a rare inter-species hybrid cross of Buddleja alternifolia x Buddleja caryopteridifolia<\/em> discovered at Hever Castle in Kent, England in 1950, which was\u00a0the childhood home of Anne Boleyn who was queen of England in the 1500\u2019s and was beheaded by King Henry the 8th. Today this historic castle is the home of a marvelous English garden and this beautiful butterfly bush.<\/p>\n

Pikei Hever Buddleja\u00a0 is a fast-growing, deciduous shrub that has an upright, loose, stretching habit. The fragrant lilac-pink flowers with an orange eye are held in loose clusters on upright, skinny, arching branches, most similar to its parent, B. alternifolia. Blooms before most other Buddlejas.<\/p>\n

The plant may die down to the ground in winter, but comes back from the roots or higher up on the plant once the weather warms up.<\/p>\n

Does not set seed\/ sterile.<\/p>\n

Hever Castle Buddleja received the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1953. Surely a plant for the avid collector!<\/p>\n

      ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS:<\/p>\n

      How to prepare cuttings to root via rooting cubes inside a humidity dome.<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Upon arrival, give cuttings a new fresh cut on the bottom of the stem. Then set in a cup of water for a minimum of 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
      2. After soaking, gently cut or scrape small marks into the bottom portion of the plant stem (\u00bd inch) with scissors or a razor blade.<\/li>\n
      3. Dip the scarred end of the stem into rooting gel or rooting powder (gel is superior). This can be done without rooting gel, but results are not as good.<\/li>\n
      4. Insert the plant stem into a rooting cube (Oasis cubes, grow plugs, soil-cubes, rock-wool cubes, etc) and place into a nursery tray with a humidity dome over the top. One cutting per cube.\u00a0Custom individual humidity domes can be made using plastic cups and\/or plastic cling wrap.<\/li>\n
      5. After the first 3-5 days, the humidity dome should be opened up or set ajar to slowly allow more air in as the plants start to root. At this point, the cubes should be allowed to become mostly dry before adding any more water.<\/li>\n
      6. Once 2-3 roots grow out of the bottom of the root-cube, the plant can be transplanted into soil.<\/li>\n
      7. More detailed rooting instructions will accompany your order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
