Very pretty! Mine bloomed 1st year from WS seed as well which I wasn't expecting. I now have them in every bed except one. For some reason they didn't survive in my full sun bed.

ohh thats a very pretty,healthy plant

That's really a pretty one. I saw a white one that was huge a few blocks from here so I don't know how much space to allow for a few. I'm guessing yours will probably get larger but how much I don't know. I suppose you can prune them to the size you want.

Congratulations on your first-year bloom. It's very pretty.
I winter sowed butterfly bush a few years ago a got blooms the second year because I had no place to put them until the end of the summer. I planted out about four plants and two have grown quite large with beautiful blooms. The collection of butterflies I had in my garden last year was amazing. This year, I pinched them, and cut off the lower branches to produce fuller plants, and I also deadheaded them. The result is that we had our first frost tonight and I still had blooms on the plants. The second and third flush are smaller, but prettier than the large brown dried blooms. They have become a favourite in the garden and I am sure yours will too. Good luck!

Beautiful!

Yes, very pretty bloom on your Buddleia! I would love one like that.

Are those Daylily seedlings next to your Buddleia? I started some from seed this year for the first time.

I'm going to jump in and say I HOPE they are daylily seedlings. I have bunches of that stuff that's gotten loose, and people here told me it's nutsedge, invasive and almost impossible to get rid of because it spreads by big bad things underground and also seeds.

Yes, they are daylilly seedlings. There's about 12 of them or so. I do have some kind of water grass that looks very similar and is difficult to get rid of.
