Buddleja saligna | False olive for sale | Witolienhout boom

False olive is very frost hardy and able to withstand moderate drought. It is a fast growing, evergreen tree. Buddleja saligna is often multi-stemmed, and is sometimes classified as a shrub. False olive has greyish green leaves and bears creamy white flower heads – often in abundance. Its flowering time is unfortunately rather short. Plant Buddleja saligna close together to shield an unsightly view or wall. It is a "no-nonsense" easy grower.
