I'd agree with that. Short of napalm, heaven knows what kills them off!

Lots of feeding and watering :-)

More seriously, they are very prone to fungal infections of their
roots when grown in rich, damp conditions. Under such circumstances,
they are short-lived plants. Beyond that, digging them out below
soil level.

But I don't want to kill them off! Sitting in a garden chair beside my
buddleias this summer, seeing them covered in red admirals, peacocks,
painted ladies was one of life's richest moments.

I like them, too.


Ssshhh. Don't admit it. ;-)
