Description
Buddleja Bloomtastic Dreaming Lavender 'Hinebud1' is a new variety of butterfly bush that stands out with its spreading habit rather than the typical bushy habit of classic varieties. Its horizontally growing branches overlap to form a wide and low dome, adorned with slightly greyish green leaves that persist on the bush in mild climates. Fragrant mauve flower spikes bloom continuously from early summer to autumn. Easy to fit in a small garden, stunning in the foreground of borders or above walls, this ground cover bush also makes a big impact in pots. It is hardy and easy to grow everywhere.
The 'Dreaming' buddleja series was developed by Peter Podaras of Hines Nursery in California, and it brings together sterile or low-fertility hybrids that devote all their energy to flowering instead of producing seeds, meaning they are not likely to self-seed in the garden or in nature. Buddleja Bloomtastic Dreaming Lavender, introduced in 2011, is a complex hybrid between 5 different buddleja species: Buddleja davidii, B. alternifolia, B. caryopterifolia, B. lindleyana, and B. crispa. Like all butterfly bushes, it belongs to the Scrophulariaceae (Buddlejaceae) family.
Bloomtastic Dreaming Lavender will not exceed 50 cm (20 in) in height with a spread of 1.5 m (5 ft). This variety develops a horizontal growth, with short branches, quickly forming a low and densely leafy dome. The foliage is semi-evergreen and will remain on the branches throughout the winter in mild climates, but it is deciduous in colder regions. It consists of slightly hairy elliptical leaves measuring approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) long and 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2 in) wide. The foliage is a lovely greyish-green colour that enhances the colour of the flowers. It flowers from June-July to October-November, for about 5 months. From the emerging foliage, panicles of well-supplied 20 cm (8 in) long flowers appear. These flowers are blue-violet and release a light honey scent, highly sought after by pollinating insects. They fade discreetly and do not need to be pruned. This hardy bush does not suffer from occasional drought when planted in deep soil. When grown in pots, it will require regular watering and some fertiliser to support its growth and flowering.
Dreaming Lavender is perfect in a container on a terrace, and will easily find a place in the garden, even when space is limited. It integrates well in the front of a border of perennials or shrubs and looks good at the edge of a pathway or above a wall. Its combination with ground cover roses, dwarf abelias, pink coneflowers, and asters is interesting for animating borders until the end of summer.

Planting and care
Dreaming Lavender is easy to grow as it is a low-maintenance plant. It is also hardy and water-efficient. It thrives in sunny locations, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary, well-worked and well-drained soil. It can tolerate limestone and poor soil. Once established, the plant will tolerate periods of moderate drought. However, if grown in a pot or container, make sure to water it regularly and provide fertiliser for flowering bushes. It has no significant enemies. However, beware of caterpillars, weevils, and red spider mites that can infest it. Pruning vigorously after 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.
