Hi all,

Can anyone give me some clues about how to look after my new 18" Buddleja
alternifolia, please?

I'm especially confused about the fact that it's tied to a thin stake,
looking much more like, say, a Russian vine than the B.davidiis that I'm
used to. I assume I should leave the stake when I plant it out - will I
need to do any pruning or staking in the near future?

thank you!

p.s. for bonus points, what does the name 'alternifolia' mean?


1) ALTERNIFOLIA means alternating leaf grows, which means one leaf grows on the
left side of the twig and the next one will then grow on the right side, then
the left again and so on.

2) alternifolia - means “with leaves arranged alternately,” not in pairs or
whorls. Most dogwoods have opposite leaves, but the pagoda dogwood, Cornus
alternifolia, has alternate leaves.


Can I use my extra points at the Air Mile shoppe ?

and your AH vouchers?
