Last month I dead headed my buddleia every day but it did not seem to
make any difference to the flowering.
But now, a month later I have a second weaker flush of small flowers.
But I don't know if this is because I dead headed.
Has anybody else a second flush even though they did not dead head - the
old flowers would be in seed now.

Yes. I dead headed one of my bushes and got a second flush, I doubt you'd
get one otherwise.

The lateral flowers seem to arrive regardless of deadheading. But
deadheading tidies the plant
