What would make a perfectly healthy Buddleia suddenly die within a month?

Everything else around it OK

Some sort of root-rot. That has happened to me, twice, with buddleia,
and several times with other plants. Usually, digging it up and
looking under the bark shows evidence, but there is no way of telling
whether that is primary or secondary.

Thanks Nick

Our neighbour first noticed it in June/July when he was looking after house
and garden whilst we were on a cruise to Greenland, Iceland and Norway. When
we came home, it was half dead. Now in August it is completely dead and we
removed this afternoon.

All plants around it are fine and healthy :-))))

Thanks again

Mike

That's what happened to me. In my front garden, I lost two buddleia,
a flowering cherry, a magnolia and other things the same way. Some
years on, a buddleia is doing find just there. Now, THAT was fungal
(or at least not bacterial) because I could see the mycelium. But I
have lost a chilli this year that way (it took a week) and there was
nothing visible.

About 15 feet away we have a Flowering Cherry which isn't very well too!!
That has been 'poorly' for a couple of years now and is coming out in the
very near future. The silly thing is that there are plenty of other plants
and shrubs nearby and between the two which are fine and even a mixed hedge
between the two is fine!!

Maybe we should hook everything out, cover it with concrete and paint it
green. There are some wonderful plastic plants, flowers and shrubs about now
;-)

Cherry wood, though very hard, is a lovely medium for carving and
turning, and oxidises to a fantastic colour - reds, chocolate, and all
shades between.

Use potassium dichromate or chromic acid solution to accelerate the
process (to more-or-less instant...).

Well, low maintenance, 'cos Astroturf needs a vacuum cleaner over it
quite regularly...
