Buddleia?

Kevin

Vitex?

Do I hear the ident of 'Bloomerang' Lilac?

Didn't know there was such an animal, but Mr. Google says there is. Zones 3 - 7, but cooler is better. What zone is the plant in question growing in? And what's the prize for the right answer?

Kevin

Butterfly bush (buddleia)?

Leptodermis Oblonga? I tried to find one of these locally but have not had success. I may have to mail order one of these.

Clethra

Did a Google image search and it looks most like aachenelf's
Buddleia suggestion.

I just noticed someone else made the same suggestion.

Thanks.

Some Butterfly Bushes smell and waft better than others. I would never buy one without sniffing it first.
I have at least half a dozen different varieties and there doesn't seem to be a constant.

On the other hand, these are the easiest plants in the world to root so anyone can have as many as they want.

I LOVE my pink Clethra!

There are so called reblooming Lilacs. Daughter has one that had a few blooms on it last week. She says that after a normal flush of bloom, it will sporadically put out a few here and there over the rest of the growing season.

Linlily, that Leptodermis Oblonga may not live up to Bluestone's hype. I have two of them. It is an ok shrub, probably would make a decent shrub for hedge even, but A blooming machine they are not. Late to break dormancy, they aren't fully leafed out till late May. Moderate bloom follows mid June. The rest of the growing season there are very sparse showings of tiny clusters of the lavender flowers here and there. At present each shrub, clipped in April to try to maintain a 3' x 3' bush, has maybe a 1/2 dozen of these clusters of 3 or 4 small (individual 'lilac' sized) flowers. You have to really hunt to find them.
