Too late to severely cut back budlea davidii??

That's a good point - my garden is fairly well protected from frost, only certain parts get the full whack - so there's a chance that the Bud's have never been hit by a real freeze. In which case, yes, trimming back now, followed by a hard cut in spring would be sensible. I've never lived anywhere where just hacking the things back when it seems like a good day for it did anything other than slow them down very slightly ;-) I'm pretty sure that advice is good for lowland Devon, Cornwall, Oxford and Chester: in colder places, your mileage may vary!
