Rostrinucula dependens, commonly known as weeping rostrinucula or weeping buddleia, is a mounding, suckering, deciduous sub-shrub of the mint family that typically grows in a weeping form to 3-6’ tall and as wide. It is native to hilly country in south central China. Tiny lavender-pink flowers bloom at the stem ends in weeping racemes (to 14” long) from late summer into fall (August-October). Upright-arching, gray-brown stems are clad with oblong-elliptic leaves (to 3-6” long and to 1 1/4″ wide). Leaves are medium green above and gray-green beneath with irregular serrulate margins. Flowers give way to beaked nutlets.
