I have 3 Buddleia, one with tiny pom pom yellow flowers, I can't
remember the name it is very pretty. I also have a white one,(and the
usual vulgar purple one). I love it although I hack it back,
severely every year.


The white one could be "Moonlight". We have one in the front which looks
absolutely fantastic at twilight and smells fantastic too. Also have two
small ones in our nursery bed (we call it that, grandly, but it's really the
resting place for plants where we haven't decided where to put them yetg).

Since we are talking about Buddleias, is there anywhere a list with pics of
varieties? We have been given several which we can't identify (sorry Val,
but I love them!).

Possibly B. globosa?

I like Buddleias but am particularly fond of Buddleia Dartmoor and a
Buddleia with arching branches and very fine foliage. *I can't remember the
name but it might be B. alternifolia.

Lovely, I would never have recognised it as a Buddleia.

Thank you so much Charlie. That's an excellent link, now bookmarked - and a
possible on my list of must-visit-one-day.

Reported a sick Buddleia a while back.
Chopped it down yesterday.
Rotting up from the roots as was suggested.
That was a quick death. Fit (seemingly) to dead in a month.

Sorry to hear about that Mike but I hate Buddleia with almost as much
passion as Elderflower. I had our two cut right down yesterday and
pleased to be rid of them!

They will still come back ;-) I love them because they attract butterflies.
How nice it was to sit outside today with a cup of tea and see peacocks, red
admirals and small tortoiseshells flocking to drink the nectar, as well as
large and small whites. Although the whites are not quite as welcome
because their caterpillars feed on brassicas, the others have nettles as the
food plant for their caterpillars. Everyone should have a buddleia if not
many of them if room allows (IMHO of course!)

Its a lovely place but the water garden bit is seldom open, I do two
plant sales a year there and always have a good time.

Considering ours seem to have died of root rot, we are wondering 'if' they
will throw up new shoots

('root rot', try saying that in a hurry, especially when you have had a few)

No, they won't. Buddleias propagate naturally entirely by seed, and
not by suckering.

Buddleja globosa has bright orange ball shaped flowers. It's a genuine
species, not a hybrid.

I'm not claiming anything - merely expressing my view in a probably
silly way. I like purple buddleia, I find the yellow pointy or globe
ones much less attractive. That's all I'm saying :-)

Sorry Mike, I was responding to Val saying she'd cut hers right down. You
can hack and slash them all you like (a bit like my Vinca) and they'll be
right back ;-)
I think yours will be a gonner.

My Grandson wants to go into the Royal Marine's Band and plays Bugle for the
local Royal Marine Cadets. I will get him over to play The Last Post to the
remaining stump ;-) Be good practice for him as he has been appointed to do
it this year at the Remembrance Service in November :-)

Globosa? *I love mine - such a pleasant change from the
