Buddleja davidii Berries and Cream ('PMOORE14')
Butterfly Bush, Summer Lilac
Ordered in October 2022, during the summer of 2023 the flowers had a lovely variegated purple and white appearance just like in the photos. However, this year (2024), the flowers are solid purple without a single spot of white. Apart from that, the young plant is healthy and very vigorous.

Description
Buddleia davidii Berries and Cream ('PMOORE14') is a new variety of bush with an undeniable originality. Its long spikes are composed of a profusion of small bi-coloured flowers in purple-violet and cream-white shades. This deciduous bush with an upright habit offers a delightful spectacle from July to September. Highly appreciated by butterflies, this variety is also hardy. It will thrive in ordinary, well-drained soil in full sun. It will be truly magnificent when planted alone or in a flowering hedge.
Buddleia davidii Berries and Cream ('PMOORE14') was created in England in 2018 by Peter Moore. This variety was extensively selected from a bi-coloured flower discovered on a Buddleia davidii 'Royal Red' plant. Like its excellent parent, Berries and Cream is a deciduous to semi-evergreen bush belonging to the Scrophulariaceae (buddleja) family.
The bush has an upright habit, reaching an average height of 2.5 m (8. ft) with a spread of 1 m (3.3 ft) in 7 or 8 years, depending on the growing conditions. It blooms from July to September with an abundance of 15 cm to 20 cm (5.9 in to 7.9 in) long flower panicles, which are dense. These generally bi-coloured flowers are purple-violet and cream-white, punctuated with a red-orange eye. Some flowers can be entirely white or purple. They release a sweet fragrance, which is attractive to pollinating insects. Its ornamental foliage is composed of long, dark green leaves, with a greyish fuzz on the underside. The leaves, 15 cm to 25 cm (5.9 in to 9.8 in) long, are pointed and lanceolate. This hardy bush is resistant to urban pollution and does not suffer from occasional drought in deep soil.
Whether planted alone or in groups, in a hedge, at the corner of a patio or at the back of a perennial border, Buddleia davidii Berries and Cream will enhance the garden in a unique way. Its harmonious inflorescences animated by a constant flight of butterflies are a spectacle in themselves. They also highlight the mauve and white panicles of some summer lilacs. You can plant it in a mixed hedge, with botanical roses, serviceberries, hawthorns, ornamental apple trees or flowering cherries. It adapts well to coastal areas and can be grown in containers. Its fragrant flowers are also very attractive in bouquets. For an elegant contrast, plant this Butterfly Bush with tall grasses like Miscanthus, Panicum, Deschampsia.
Remove faded flowers as they appear to encourage the formation of secondary inflorescences, and prune quite severely from March to April.

Planting and care
Buddleia davidii Berries and Cream is easy to grow, as it is a low-maintenance plant when it comes to soil. It enjoys sunny spots, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary soil, even chalky and mediocre, but well-worked, well-drained, and deep. Once well established, the plant can withstand periods of moderate drought. David's buddleia has no significant enemies. However, beware of caterpillars, weevils, bugs and red spider mites that can invade it. Pruning after each wave of flowering and/or in early spring keeps the habit ramified and compact and encourages the bush to produce numerous flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
