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!
Buddleja globosa has bright orange ball shaped flowers. It's a genuine

I'm not claiming anything - merely expressing my view in a probably
silly way. *I like purple buddleia, I find the yellow pointy or globe
ones much less attractive. *That's all I'm saying :-)

I like them all Cat, but my favourite is the white one. *I also love
the purple one which I feed and I have huge lilac type flowers.
No wonder they call you Blossom in the village
