Fall? Advice needed, thanks all!

Hi,
There is nothing wrong in seeking advice. Generally I would advise you to remove the dead stalks, it will improve the shape and look of your buddleia. Generally speaking you should prune (cut back) your plant when it has finished flowering. If you cut it back quite hard it will encourage a bushy habit and will keep your shrub in a nice shape.
You will then be able to enjoy a mass of colour next year!!!!
