I’m looking for a bright blue buddleja - I’ve seen several but can anyone recommend one?

    I'm not sure any of them would be described as bright blue, unless it's a very new variety I'm unaware of. 
    Have you seen them in the flesh, or just photos? Purples [which many buddleias are]  are very difficult to photograph accurately, and some are altered so they can be completely different.  :)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    There’s some ‘blue-ish’ buddleja here https://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/10-buddlejas-to-grow/

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Many thanks. I’ve actually seen some but they’re mauve/blue - very beautiful tbh

    There's a pale one called Lochinch.  :)

    I only grow dark ones. Black Knight at the moment. I can't remember the other ones I've grown.
