Heads (and the seeds they carry) will produce a plethora of seedlings if

.........plethora.........
Made my day - wonderful word :~))

Have an "embouchure"; it'll see you through the Bank Holiday weekend.

But seriously people - I've never EVER had any seedlings from my
buddleias. So 'crotte de taureau' spring to mind ;o)

Our next-door neighbours have had one for 20 years and it hangs over the
fence into our garden. I have never noticed any baby buddleias growing,
either in their garden or ours. My only problem with it is that they
have recently taken a dislike to it and keep cutting it back with a
vengeance. However, being sturdy, it just grows up again. I hope they
don't decide to uproot it, as we have a lovely butterfly show every
summer.
