Suggest there are too many varieties now - See this ref of 107 varieties in the UK. http://www.colorchoiceplants.com/blue_chip.htm

Sorry dandoucette. I'm still confused. The picture on the webpage of the German part of the wikipedia webpage shows different leaves than all other pictures. I think there is some mix in the web...
Saarbrigger
Thanks Michelle. The picture of the webpage "www.duke.edu" confinced me. It's very similar to my spotting.

From what I can tell, it's the Black Night variety... Buddleja Davidii. Keep researching, Saarbrigger!

Thank you dandoucette, but the leaves are completely different than at a Buddlejy davidii I think. It could be a typ of Buddlej, but which one it's not clear for me still.
