Hi

I bought this plant as a bare root twig last year. It was sold as a buddleia but the leaves do not look like any buddleia I've seen.

Any ideas what it could be?

    not a buddleia

    Have you a photo of the plant just by itself, no hand?

    Is that a flower bud just below centre?

    There are many species of buddleia other than those found in GCs but I can't see that as one of them

    There doesn't appear to be any flower buds atm.  The picture on the box seemed to be the typical davidiii.

    I guess I will need to wait fo some flowers to find out What it actually is.

    If there are flowers! 

    Doesn't look like any  buddliea to me either. Looks like a random sapling of something. Are those flower buds of something else, or is it more foliage emerging? 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    The bud is from a clematis. I might remove it now while its small. The clematis will be more than happy to fill the space with flowers

    Thanks

    The bud is from a clematis.

    Im wondering if it might be some form of spiraea?
