Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Notes

'Lochinch' is a larger buddleia cultivar, growing 12 to 15 feet tall (when not cut back), but with winter pruning, generally 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide. Leaves are narrower and longer than other buddleia, with grey top sides and silvery undersides, giving the shrub an airy, bright look. Fragrant, light lavender-blue flowers with orange eyes are clustered in long panicles that bloom June to September The blossoms attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
