Rostrinucula dependens | <\/em>False Butterfly Bush<\/p>\n

False Butterfly Bush is also commonly known as Weeping Rostrinicula, Tree Mint, Weeping Buddleja, and False Buddleia\/Buddleja because of its resemblance to a Butterfly Bush (even though it’s in the mint family). It’s a rare and unusual mounding shrub native to Yunnan, China. It has an attractive arching habit and is covered by masses of weeping racemes of lavender-pink bottlebrush-type flowers, called nutlets, from late August to mid October. Since it flowers on current seasons growth, we recommend pruning the plant back 6-8″ in late winter.<\/p>\n

It does well in full sun to part shade, with the longest racemes and best looking foliage being produced in shade or part sun. Plants are easily grown in moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.\u00a0 In the colder northern parts of its growing range, Rostrinicula dependens <\/em>is a die-back perennial that dies to the ground in winter and returns in spring.<\/p>\n

False Buddleja is an undervalued, fascinating little plant to show off to your gardener friends.<\/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
