Is this a type of Buddelei?

This lovely shrub was growing in the village in Bedford where my cousins live. None of us were sure if it was a type of Buddelei or not, so we'd love to have an ID, please.

 

Hi Kedi,I might be wrong but it looks a bit like a Hebe to me but without checking I am not sure which one.

 

Agree with Kandy - it's a Hebe

 

Thanks a lot Kandy and Clematis for the quick ID.

I've never seen such a beautiful one before and tall, too, as the wall was about 6' high.

 

Its a hebe, similar to one on a thread started by Roders a a day or so ago.

 

That's it - thanks, Pete. :thumb: I missed that thread completely.

 

It is a beautiful Hebes and i have seen them bloom right over Christmas in the past. One of my favourite plants back home, we had several.The Bees and Butterflies adore them too.

 

There's a particularly pretty cultivar which I have seen with flushed pink flowers at the tip and then gradually turning white to the bottom I presume changing with age

 

that is one massive hebe

 

Aesculus, I think the one you are refering to is Great orme.
