Buddleja alternifolia
In article , Glen Able
writes Hi all, Can anyone give me some clues about how to look after my new 18" Buddleja alternifolia, please? I'm especially confused about the fact that it's tied to a thin stake, looking much more like, say, a Russian vine than the B.davidiis that I'm used to. I assume I should leave the stake when I plant it out - will I need to do any pruning or staking in the near future? According to Hessayon: Just plant it in a sunny position with the stake to give it some support from wind until it becomes established. Then cut back branches bearing faded blooms immediately after flowering. Then just sit back and watch it get bigger and bigger each year. Another name for it is Fountain Buddleia as its foliage resembles a tumbling fountain. No idea why it is called alternifolia -- Jane Ransom in Lancaster. I won't respond to private emails that are on topic for urg but if you need to email me for any other reason, put ransoms at jandg dot demon dot co dot uk where you see |
