Buddleja problem revisited
Hello all,
When I moved into my house last year, at the end of April, I posted to urg about the sorry state of my new B. davidii. The foliage was all misshapen with yellowish patches and fell off easily. Nobody recognised this problem. I've been keeping an eye on them and thought I'd post an update. They flowered ok last summer, even though the foliage was always a bit poorly looking. I was surprised afterwards in autumn to see them start sprouting new leaves while the old ones were being shed (is this normal?) They kept this new growth and, as of a month ago, all 4 plants were covered with healthy-looking leaves around 2-3" long. However, since the hard frosts (-8C) a couple of weeks ago, these leaves have started to look rather misshapen again. So perhaps the problem has been frost damage? I'll be chopping them back soon, so hopefully this year it'll all be healthy new growth. Btw would it be a good idea to use a lower-nitrogen fertiliser now to promote flowering? cheers, G.A. |
