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?

thank you!

p.s. for bonus points, what does the name 'alternifolia' mean?
