The aroma is similar to that of the <em>Buddleja davidii,\u00a0<\/em>but even sweeter. The flowers are similar too, but are a little bit smaller. The structure is similar, but fallowiana is slower growing, shorter, and a little more compact.<\/p>\n<p>The plants that grow from these seeds will have slight variation in the foliage fuzziness, plus flower structure and color.<\/p>\n<p><em>Buddleia fallowiana <\/em>naturally grows in open woodland, forest edges, and stream banks in mountainous elevations. In the garden, it grows best in fertile, free-draining soil in full sun. Will tolerate some shade. Goes mostly deciduous in winter and may die back to the ground in extremely cold winters. Site in a sheltered spot if possible. For the healthiest growth it is recommended to soft-prune in late autumn and then hard prune down to your knees in April.<\/p>\n<p><em>B. fallowiana <\/em>was one of the parents used to create the famous Buddleja hybrid,<em> B<\/em>. \u2018Lochinch\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Type: Perennial<\/p>\n<p>Sun exposure: Full sun<\/p>\n<p>Mature height: 6 ft<\/p>\n<p>Mature width- 6 ft<\/p>\n<p>Hardiness zones: 7-9<\/p>\n<p>The rooted plant you will receive will be 6-16 inches tall and will be one of the plants in the photo, or a similar one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We ship plants orders out on Mondays and Tuesdays only.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rooted plant in quart pot<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41786,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[4586,4616],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-42783","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-butterfly-bush-collection","product_cat-plant-starts","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-before_image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/42783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41786"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=42783"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=42783"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athousandflowers.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=42783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
