Tags: Cultivar (Cultivated Variety).
Buddleja davidii ‘Fascination’ is an old American cultivar raised by Paul Schmidt at Youngstown Ohio in 1940. The name of the shrub has often been misspelt ‘Fascinating’. Whilst most authorities accept that they are one and the same at least one treats ‘Fascinating’ as a separate cultivar owing to the difference in flower colour (purple-blue) in some specimens. However the difference in colour may be explained by the effect of soil pH and other factors. [1]
