Thank you for such an informative and clear video! I love these flowers and bought two plants a couple of weeks ago. One is going strong but the other isn't doing well. There are a few leaves curling on it and I don't know why.. I was about to fertilise my buddlejas today but lucky I came across your video! I would love to see how to propagate these babies ☺️🌱 Also, hi from Australia 😆👋

Can you trim your bush any time of the year?

It’s best to trim it in late winter/early spring :)

I got my Buddleia from a local shop with farming and planting equipment, and it was a little stick that was in a dormant state so bought it and brought it home. I potted it and for about a month and a half nothing happened so after waiting a while, i dug it back out thinking there was a problem since i was new to planting dormant plants, and i had no idea what to really look out for, so i just thought it was dead but still had a little hope, so put it back in the soil and left it outside for a week or two and bam! there is somehow tremendous growth! I think my problem was is that I packed the soil so much that the roots couldn’t grow and travel, and that the plant just also needed more sunlight.

Thanks for your sharing....

Yes, please make a propagation video! I just received one and would like to copy and paste it in my garden.

I have a White Buddleia in my garden which was a cutting. It first appeared in my June/July 2018 videos on my channel. This plant has grown and finally settled into it's permanent place in the garden for my February 2021 update. It should flower nicely this year as the parent plant did in 2018. Happy Growing :)

@@BirdofParadise It was a lovely surprise to find. I took a cutting from a wild one in July 2014. I lost this plant in May 2019 which is on my channel. I took cuttings from it then and luckily had an older cutting from it that's now taken it's place, so long as I don't lose the plant I'll be happy :)

Great video! A kind of got what I was looking for! Thanks! I have a butterfly bush that eventually turned in to a tree form by itself 😂.. then I started doing the needful and cut extra growth to keep the form. The problem is it looks good when deadheaded and I can’t reach the top.. if I cut it around 4 ft this spring do you think it will still grow? I don’t want them to die.

Great video! You inspired me to try this with a little buddleia I picked off a wall before lockdown. 😁 But I've got a problem... I somehow managed to snap the stem a few weeks ago. I quickly fixed it up with some masking tape and it stopped wilting and I think it's growing again now. Do have any advice for what I should do? It would be really helpful

@BirdofParadise

Arnie the Purple Dinosaur are there leaves below the part that you accidentally snapped? If so, it will most likely still grow even if the snapped part never heals over. But either way I’m sure it will be fine- they’re very hard to kill 😊

The one next to your window you don't have to turn into a tree exactly two years and it should have it should grow exactly like that if you leave a buddleia to its own devices also keep an eye on it it will turn into a tree eventually about 15 feet tall in the UK you have them growing wild in town centres I seen them growing in chimney pot on a railway bridge on the bricks in the railway bridge if you go to town of Bedford and you go to the train station there's a bridge that goes over the tracks the road name for the bridge is Ford End Road and it's a Victorian Bridge and he has buddleia growing all over it and in the station and at the end of Ford End Road Bridge there is some empty land either side of the road one side used to part of the Ironworks and there's a road going in the middle of the empty land that goes into a housing estate that was built in 2006 not long after the demolition of the Ironworks that was meant to be a NHS doctors surgery something like that if you go onto Google Maps and go back to 2009 you'll see even today nothing ever happened there and I call the place the buddleia Forest how many are there are about the same size of yours and bigger and every year is always a new buddleia there the area is called Queen's Park
