Hi Wanda, unfortunately, I didn't order this one, bought it at the local
botanic garden. But I'd look for a mail order that grows drought-tolerant
plants, maybe from Arizona/New Mexico/Texas areas.  Do a search on the net
to see if you can find someone who might carry it and then make calls to
the most likely candidates.  I've found stuff that way.  Alternatively,
contact me in a few weeks to see if mine has any mature seeds on it.  The
flowers bloom and mature throughout the year.  By the way, the flower
clusters are quite small - about 1 1/2 inch in diameter so you'd want it in
an area where you could get up close to it.    I have seen a more
coneventional buddleia with pale yellow-gold flowers, it's buddleia 'golden
glow' and it is in our nurseries now, and I've just recently ordered one.

Good luck!

Nan

So goes an old chinese proverb:
         If you want to be happy for a few hours, get drunk;
         If you want to be happy for a week-end get married;
         If you want to be happy for a week, barbeque a pig;
         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
