Buddleia Problem
I am new to gardening and a couple of weeks ago bought 4 Buddleia plants
which I have in pots in the back garden. I have come home from work tonight and two of the plants look like they have been eaten by something - the leaves have big chunks out of them and some of the leaves have almost gone completely. Has anyone else had this problem? I have searched on the internet but I can't seem to find any problems with Buddleia. I am worried that whatever has attacked these two plants will attack the two others. Could it be birds? Any help / advice would be much appreciated. Mel |

Try going down the garden after dark with a lamp and see if you can catch whatever it is in the act. It will be damp tonight so you have a better chance of them being out and about.

Mel I agree that your problem could be caused by slugs, they seem to enjoy everything. Tricia |
