Delivery time respected. Young plant a bit weak but still seems healthy. Knowing the robustness of buddlejas, I don't worry about its future development.

Description
Buddleja davidii 'Wisteria Lane' is a new variety of butterfly bush with a dwarf wisteria-like appearance. It bears a unique habit that is both compact and weeping. In summer, it transforms into a fountain of lavender-mauve flowers, gathered in long, dense, trailing, and fragrant clusters, crowned with numerous butterflies attracted by their sweet scent. This plant is perfectly hardy, and not demanding in terms of soil and water. It can be adopted in almost all regions. Its relatively modest growth is well suited to small spaces and the ornamentation of terraces and balconies.
Buddleja davidii 'Wisteria Lane' is a horticultural hybrid obtained in 2011 in a nursery in Michigan, USA. Only its female parent, a non-commercial hybrid sowing, is known. This hybrid carries, among others, genes from David's Buddleja, also called Father David's Buddleja or Changing Buddleja, a robust Chinese species. Buddlejas belong to the Scrophulariaceae (Buddlejaceae) family.
'Wisteria Lane' is a deciduous bush with a weeping habit, slightly spreading and relatively compact. Of fairly rapid growth, it will reach about 1.2 m (3.9 ft) in height and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in spread in 4 years, depending on growing conditions. Its adult size will not exceed 1.6 m (5.2 ft) in height. It produces flexible and arched branches that give it a bushy and distinctly weeping habit. Flowering takes place from July to September, in an abundance of dense and trailing panicles of flowers 20 cm to 30 cm (7.9 in to 11.8 in) long and 5 cm (2 in) wide. These flowers are light purple to lavender-mauve with an orange eye and release a sweet scent, highly sought after by pollinating insects (they contain substances collected by pollinating insects that will transform them into honey). Its highly ornamental foliage is composed of long lanceolate leaves measuring on average 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in length and 3 cm (1.2 in) in width. They are silver green in colour, with a greyish underside. This very hardy bush withstands urban pollution very well and does not suffer from occasional drought in deep soil.
Whether planted alone or in groups, in a hedge, border or at the back of a perennial bed, or even in a container on a terrace, Buddleja davidii 'Wisteria Lane' will beautify the garden in a unique way. Forming a fragrant mauve fountain animated by a constant flight of butterflies, it enhances all other flowering shrubs, especially pink, white, or purple roses. It pairs beautifully with a small clematis, both in open ground and in pots. You can also plant it in a free-standing hedge to separate themed areas in the garden. It adapts well to coastal areas and urban gardens. Its fragrant flowers are also very pretty in bouquets. For a striking scene, plant it above a wall, from where it will cascade beautifully.

Planting and care
It is easy to grow, as it is a hardy and low-maintenance plant, tolerant of clay-limestone soils. It enjoys sunny spots, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary, even poor, but relatively deep, well-worked and properly drained soil. Once well established, the plant can tolerate periods of moderate drought. David's buddleja has no significant enemies. However, beware of caterpillars, weevils, and red spider mites that can invade it. Pruning vigorously after flowering and/or in early spring maintains its ramified and compact habit and encourages it to produce numerous flowers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
