THE BLUE BOOK FOR FLORISTS 
FIRST OFFERING OF 
BUDDLEIA HARTWEGI 
THE FINEST OF THE BUTTERFLY BUSHES 
B UDDLEIA HART¬ 
WEGI is undoubt¬ 
edly the finest of all 
the summer fiowering 
Butterfiy Bushes. As 
a summer cut fiower 
plant and as an orna¬ 
mental lawn shrub 
it is unsurpassed in 
beauty and usefulness. 
The large bright lav¬ 
ender panicles have 
remarkable substance 
and harmonize in ar¬ 
rangement with other 
summer flowers. The 
flowers do not ‘‘sun¬ 
burn” as do the other 
Davidii varieties, and 
the tip flowers on the 
panicle open before 
the basal flowers have 
faded. The individual 
flowers are closely 
spaced on the panicles, 
imparting a compact 
and pleasing appear¬ 
ance. The foliage is 
very heavy and is rich 
dark green. 
Buddleia Hartwegi 
is hardier than any of 
the summer flowering 
Butterfly Bushes, hav¬ 
ing lived through the 
severe winter of 1935- 
1936 without protec¬ 
tion and with only Beautiful Hartwegi 
slight loss. 
As a summer cut flower, Hartwegi is unsurpassed. Read the following ex¬ 
cerpt from the Florists’ Review of September 2nd, 1937, (Boston newsletter): 
“Buddleia Hartwegi is seen in fine shape and brings 75c per bunch; other 
varieties run from 20c upward.”
