Don't you hate that when you see a plant you like in a magazine, and they don't tell you what it is? This one is "Lysimachia clethroides" or more commonly known as "Gooseneck Loosestrife". This plant grows to three feet tall, and is a good cutting flower. It is a very easy plant to grow, and spreads very easily, so if you are going to plant it, be sure and contain it somehow. They prefer well drained, moist soil, in full sun to partial shade.
Hope that helps!

Wow - I was going to call it Buddlia or Butterfly bush: https://www.naturehills.com/new/product/shrubs_productdetails.aspx?proname=Butterfly+Bush+-+White&ovmkt=6TL4TEQ1FFTRVQI52E5G63E95O
But I think Val has it right! They do look similar to me but the blooms on the butterfly bush are not so long nor graceful. And the leaves appear a little shorter, if a similar shape. Good call!
