Cultivar 'ILVOargus1' = Argus White (UK), InSpired White (USA)
Origin Belgium

Buddleja 'ILVOargus1' (selling names = Argus White in the UK, InSpired White in the USA) is a hybrid cultivar raised in Belgium by ILVO, the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research, from a crossing of a white form of B. davidii var. nanhoensis (female parent) with B. lindleyana (male). Promoted by the horticultural organization Argus, the cultivar was released to commerce in 2011.

Description

Argus White is a small shrub growing to a height of 1.2 m, bearing upright, rather sparse panicles of pure white flowers. The cultivar is semi-sterile, and thus unlikely to become invasive.

Cultivation

Argus White is in commerce in the UK,[1] and Europe; it was introduced to the USA in 2013, where it is marketed by Proven Winners LLC, Illinois, as InSpired White. In the UK, a specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire.[2]
