However, it is larger in scale, with willow-like foliage that&#8217;s more than two times as long and with round orange eyes on the flowers, rather than square orange eyes. The sweetly-scented creamy white flowers bloom in terminal clusters surprisingly late in the summer and persist for quite some time, attracting a variety of pollinators to the garden. The young have fine, silvery hairs over their textured, leathery surface and as they mature, they turn a darker green. The leaf reverses are startlingly white with woolly hairs. The evergreen foliage makes it useful in the garden year-round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-description\">\n<p>The seed capsule is small and covered with fine, creamy-grey hairs that form dense woolly heads, which eventually split open to release very fine seeds. <em>Buddleja knappii<\/em> grows on dry or moist hillsides, among rocks or sheltered places on slopes, mountains and sometimes on stream banks at fairly high altitudes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If any pruning is to be done, it should occur shortly after flowering because flowers will bloom on last years wood.<\/p>\n<p>Deer resistant.
