Buddleja stenostachya is a deciduous shrub native to the province of Sichuan, China. The species was discovered and introduced to cultivation by Wilson in 1908, and named by him and Rehder in 1913. There remains some contention over its taxonomy; it was sunk under B. nivea by Leeuwenberg; while another erroneously sank it as a variety of Buddleja crispa.
The species is uncommon in cultivation in the UK and North America. In the UK, specimens are grown as part of the NCCPG National Collection held by Longstock Park Nursery near Stockbridge, Hampshire, at the Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, near Romsey, and at the Savill Garden in Surrey. The shrub should be pruned in spring to maintain shape.
