Can anyone help identify this shrub ?

Have some shrubs in my garden which I am donating half of to a charity plant sale, but do not know its name.


It grows to about 6ft tall max by about 4ft spead, is decidious, has long upright branches mostly starting from its base, spreads slowly via underground roots and has numerous lilac fluffy cone shaped flowers in July/August (these flowers turn brown after flowering but do not drop off for ages). Leaves are oval, about 4cm long and mid green.


If anyone can suggest some names, so I can google and view them. Not worth me posting a photo, as it is only just getting its leaves.


Thanks

I agree with Kerry. Sounds like a Buddleja/ Buddleia.





EDIT...Not if it suckers. Just reread your description. Could be Spiraea x billiardii.
Reply:"Sounds like it may be a roahdedenron, probably spellt it wrong,but by the description, it could be one of the rodidendren family?

Reply:Sounds to me like a common buddleia. There are several varieties including one with orange ball shaped flowers. However, this one with lilac flowers and elongated leaves sounds like the common one. It is very hardy, will grow anywhere, and can be cut right back and still survive.





Hope this helps.
Reply:My first thought was Buddleia as per Kerry K





or Syringia (lilac)
Reply:i would say from your description that it is a


laburnum watereri vossii


80% sure
