I\u2019m guessing this B. davidii cultivar is White Profusion, but I\u2019m not exactly sure. I don\u2019t remember where or when I got this shrub that I planted along the north property line, now bordering the orchard garden. I\u2019m guessing it was at least fifteen years ago. The shrub is pretty big now and produces very full flower clusters of a clean white\u2013but only white for a week or so and then they pass on to brown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One reason to grow B. davidii is that it normally attracts some great pollinators. It isn\u2019t called Butterfly Bush for nothing. Maybe because mine are in a shady area now, I don\u2019t see as many pollinators as I\u2019d like. B. davidii is a noxious alien weed here in Seattle, To my knowledge, however, mine is a sterile hybrid\u2013I haven\u2019t ever seen a seedling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
