:-(
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. Mike -- |

Must say though, that earlier this year there where not too many butterflies, but it seems to have made up for it now with butterflies AND bees at long last.

It is now around 6ft tall with lovely deep purple flowers. I love it. I saw a yellow one the other day. It is just wrong. Those plants were *never* meant to be yellow. Never mind have ball-shaped flower clusters! Cat(h) |

, Judith in France writes Lovely, I would never have recognised it as a Buddleia. Judith 'Ere I said all this last year. They are wonderful grown as small trees, not so dense that you can't see through them, not so light and air they don't make a statement. They have the most brilliant scent of honey when in flower and all you do is cut off the flowering spikes once the flowers have gone brown. They take very very easily from cuttings and i wish more people would grow it. Much better than some of the others. Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
