Buddleja asiatica, also known as dogtail, is a species of flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae. It grows in open woodland at elevations

Description

Buddleja asiatica can grow

Distribution

This somewhat tender deciduous shrub is native to Assam, Bangladesh, Borneo, Cambodia, China (North-Central, South-Central and Southeast), East and West Himalaya, Hainan, India, Java, Laos, the Lesser Sunda Islands, Malaysia, the Maluku Islands, the Mariana Islands, Myanmar, Nepal, New Guinea, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sulawesi, Sumatra, Taiwan, Thailand, Tibet, Vietnam. It is an introduced species in the East Aegean Islands, Hawaii, and Vanuatu.

Cultivation

Buddleja asiatica is not completely hardy in the UK, but can be grown reliably against a south-facing wall in coastal areas of the south and west, where it tolerates temperatures down to around 0 C. A specimen is grown under glass by Longstock Park Nursery, near Stockbridge, Hampshire, one of the four NCCPG national collection holders. Hardiness: RHS H3, USDA zones 9–10. Owing to its wide ecological range, adaptation to disturbed areas, elevation and rainfall tolerance, it readily naturalizes in tropical regions and can become invasive.

Uses

In Nepal leaves of B. asiatica are collected as fodder for domesticated animals, and the trunk is cut for firewood. During Thangmi wedding rituals, the female relatives of the groom wear necklaces made of the white flower.
