Reported a sick Buddleia a while back.
Chopped it down yesterday.
Rotting up from the roots as was suggested.
That was a quick death. Fit (seemingly) to dead in a month.

I didn't know you could kill those things. You have my condolences.
I chopped the lard out of mine last spring, down to about a foot,
because it was getting a bit out of hand.
It is now around 6ft tall with lovely deep purple flowers. I love it.
I saw a yellow one the other day. It is just wrong. Those plants
were *never* meant to be yellow. Never mind have ball-shaped flower
clusters!
