| Hi, I am finding some tiny buddleia plants around the big plant and I assume the plants have come from seeds of the big buddleia bush. Will these little seedlings be the same as the big plant? Thanks for your help, Brooks23 |

| Not necessarily - they have a tendency to revert to the plain old mauve. And they'll possibly lose any dwarf characteristics the parent had. |

| That is what I was afraid of. I had a start of Evil Ways seedling and it looks a lot different than the original plant but I wondered if it was my imagination. I have had a white one that seems to have white seedlings and Potters Purple seems to have the same seedling. I guess it is live and learn on buddleia. Thanks |

| Buddleja is really easy from cuttings.That way you can get exact copies of the parent. |
