Too late to severely cut back budlea davidii??
"Rebecca" wrote in message m... Hi All, I had some great advice form this group pruning my semi fallen budlea earlier this year. I took the risk and cut it back to 1ft and it has now sprouted new growth like a weed and looks great. (I still find it hard to believe that I dont kill everything I touch in the garden - Im new to this gardening lark). I have a couple more which look tall and straggly and after such a success I know want to know if it is too late too cut these others right back? Any tips, much appreciated! Many thanks Rebecca ----------------------------- I have always waited until spring before hard pruning and get a good display of long stemmed blooms. A neighbour, knowing no better, last year reduced all growths by half immediately after flowering.. The bush is now a solid mass of bloom with probably ten times the normal. Looks fantastic but then there was a mild winter!! [that's my excuse as I had warned her!!]. Yours should be about to bloom and can be lightly pruned afterwards to see what happens and then more severely in the spring if there has been any damage. Regards Brian. |
