Mine fell over yesterday so Im glad youve asked the question.
I stood mine up again, stamped round the ground and propped it up with
rocks. One branch tore off so a friend said to stick it in the ground as
it might root - that would be nice.

They root readily at this time of year.

Is it best to leave taking unwindborne cuttings until after a Buddleia
has finished flowering (as I was intending to do) or to start now?

Anytime is fine. Slice stem just below a leaf node and remove leaves,
trim it off above the next and leave leaves on - bung it in a pot.
The success rate is something like 90%, I've found.
