Is B x weyeriana the apricot globular flowered one?

No Kay~ weyeriana is as you would imagine a cross between davidii and
globosa. Buttercup yellow flowers in a spike similar to davidii but not so
tight.
Flowers till Xmas and is sterile so no seed heads. Quite the best.
Flowers over a much longer period than any others. Its only disadvantage is
its inability to wthstand strong winds. It only produces a shallow root
system and blows over. Well worth a try. Roots well[ish] from cuttings but
not so readily as davidii.
Best wishes Brian.


Funny, I've always seen x weyeriana the other way round i.e. it has
balls like globosa, but fused together rather than individual.

Say, how come nobody mentioned B. alternifolia? There seem to be a few
varieties including a smaller one with silvery grey foliage. Mine have
been completely coated in flowers for the last few weeks and they have a
lovely scent - similar to the familiar buddleja smell but sweeter and
fresher.
