If so, you've given them ideas WAY above their station :-) What you do
propagate Buddleja is this:

- Prepare a crack in a brick wall by light brushing
- If in a generous mood, wet it
- Find a Buddleja
- Grab it by the neck to get its attention
- With your free hand, point out your prepared crack to it
- It will then self-seed elsewhere.

Teehee. Here's hoping. My Buddleia was cracked at the bottom of the
stam in a storm this spring and it's gone. All I've got left are the
stumps. I haven't seen any suckers. If there's a chance it might come
back, I'll leave the stump, but there's no movement in sight at the
moment.
