| Origin | Belgium |
Buddleja 'ILVOargus1' (selling names = Argus White in the UK, InSpired White in the USA) is a hybrid cultivar raised in Belgium by ILVO, the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research, [1] from a crossing of a white form of B. davidii var. nanhoensis (female parent) with B. lindleyana (male). Promoted by the horticultural organization Argus, the cultivar was released to commerce in 2011. [2] [3]
Description
Argus White is a small shrub growing to a height of 1.2 m, bearing upright, rather sparse panicles of pure white flowers. The cultivar is semi-sterile, and thus unlikely to become invasive.[4]
Cultivation
Argus White is in commerce in the UK,[1] and Europe; it was introduced to the USA in 2013, where it is marketed by Proven Winners LLC, Illinois, as InSpired White. [5] In the UK, a specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire.[2]
