Scott, Buddleia alternifolia grown as a weeping tree is, in my opinion, far better than trying to grow it as a shrub. It needs the height of a trunk to allow it to attain any grace. It can be quite rank in form. It's spring bloom for me is rather sparse, fall being far better, though that could easily be from my poor pruning. I have never taken a good picture of it to reveal it's nice color in leaf and bloom. I am trying to train a clematis to utilize its branches during the summer. I blew up the previous shot to give you a better idea, but it is just a bad picture. Patti
