They have a strong will to live, don't they? Good luck with them :)

Sounds like they are hardy little buggers. Lots of people are complaining about their Buddleia davidii dying. Mine look pathetic this year compard to past years (so far).

I had to go look them up - looks like it has a pretty form and somewhat less showy flowers, but similar to B. davidii. Are the flowers supposed to be fragrant?

Terrene, The flowers are fragrant according to my readings. The flowers may not be as showy but the panicles are quite long and go over a foot long.

All my planted Davidiis died this winter. First time that has ever happened. The heaving is what got them. We had it bad here. Yet the Davidiis which I neglected and threw up against the shed still in their winter sown containers made it through!!!

Lesson - Plant early to establish root systems!!!!

Tiffy, you're going to have great butterfly attractor's! The butterflies love this plant. I lost one to heaving and I accidently threw it out. The rest have made it but, they are coming along very slowly. I'm thinking about hitting them with some fish fertilizer!

Thanks for responding Ladyrose. Seeing your zone gives me hope that these might actually survive here so I am going to plant some in the garden (with mulch) and others in pots.

Again, thanks!!

Congratulations, tiffy. I hope they will grow even more beautifully for you.

I am watching for my buddleia with bated breath. stage_rat gave me a large plant a few years ago. Last summer it grew huge. This year, it has not shown any life.

I have not been on the forum much these past couple years but it is so good to see you here again.
