Buddliea in containers
Hi all,
I have three Buddliea that I must move - I had hoped they'd fill a gap in a certain part of the garden, but they didn't get enough sunlight or moisture there and they really didn't perform at all. I'm struggling to find space for them anywhere else, and I wondered whether it's feasible to grow them in big pots. I've never seen it done. Has anyone here tried it with some success? TIA Nick |

TIA Nick Provided you make sure the pots can not get over wet in winter the only problem you are likely to have is the pots blowing over in Autumn due to the height of them :~) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

TIA Nick Nick, which Buddliea are they? Most of the daviddii types will survive in comparitivly harsh, dry conditions once established.. I would assume that globosa and x weyeranii; (which have similar vigour), might as well. We must have thousands of them growing in walls around London, not to mention all the ones in rail embankments, walls, etc etc.. We have a small one growing in a crack in our front wall.. // Jim |
