Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Buddleja indica is a type of evergreen shrub that is native to Madagascar, the Comoro Islands, and the Mascarene Islands. It can grow up to 4 meters in height and has smooth, dark green leaves that can range in size and shape. The shrub produces small clusters of greenish yellow to yellow or white flowers at the end of its branches. Due to its sensitivity to cold temperatures and low humidity, B. indica is mostly grown as a houseplant, particularly in the USA where it is known as the oak-leaf buddleja. It is not commonly seen flowering in cultivation and is mainly grown for its unique foliage. In the UK, it is grown under glass at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and as part of a national collection at Longstock Park Nursery. B. indica is considered to be hardy in USDA zone 10.
