Buddleja 'Winter Sun' is a British cultivar raised by Steve Nevard, London, from a crossing of B. araucana (formerly B. nappei) and B. officinalis.[1][2][3] 'Winter Sun' is a winter / early spring flowering shrub of similar size and vigour to B. officinalis. It has pink-flushed-yellow flowers in terminal clusters of small globose heads, complemented by olive green foliage with a brown tomentose underside.[1][3]
'Winter Sun' is uncommon.[2] It is not known to be in cultivation beyond the UK. A specimen is grown as part of the NCCPG national buddleja collection held by Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge.[1]
