That is exactly what I was wondering. My Petrea, the purple one, never bore a single seed. The flowers used to simple drop off. So did Buddelia. Both of them don't exist anymore due to negligence by others (I was away) and I could not find Buddelia again. It was a white variety of Buddelia from Shalimar nurseries it bore flowers like crazy through out the year and the honey bees wouldn't let someone come close to it.

I guess it was buddleia asiatica which blooms in spring with fragrant flowers. Will take around 10 cuttings next week from the large specimen in lawrence gardens lahore

I am also going to have my hands on buddleia davidii seeds. Will offer members if anyone is interested. Easy to germinate from seed. Most heat tolerant species of buddleia is salvifloia native of south africa.

I don't think it was asiatica. The leaves were quite rounded. It was sold at an expensive price and seems more similar to davidii leaves.

[khabbab]

Farooq, if it had rounded leaves, it is not buddleia. Both asiatica and davidii has similar leaves, silvery on reverse. I hope you are not referring to this one http://www.gardeningpakistan.com/viewto ... tica#p1454

I also got a chinese variety of buddleia probably buddleia lindleyana but not sure yet. More heat tolerant than davidii but less heat tolerant than asiatica.

Great! Seems Buddelia was a misnomer. It was sold as Buddelia and indeed it is not. Now Buddelia is in my wish list as well.
