On the Street . . . Yates Street, Denver, Colorado
Which came first, the Buddleia alternifolia 'Argentea' or the house's color palette?
Regardless, it's a striking combination! Silver Fountain butterfly bush differs from the more common Buddleia davidii in that it blooms on new wood in mid to late spring (no need to cut this shrub down each year). The slender, silvery leaves are a nice asset that make an attractive contrast with the foliage of the lilac shrub that it's paired with here.
Left to its own devices, Silver Fountain butterfly bush will grow up to 12'x12' in size ---- so give it plenty of room in a sunny spot with well drained soil. Hardy to 8,000 feet with low water requirements, once established.
