OK so I did it and planted 6 cuttings into pots with a mixture of 50/50 fresh compost and sharp sand. They don't look happy, well one looks OK, but curious to see if they make it. Might give them some fertilizer tomorrow.
Those cuttings are too big EricsGarden. They should be roughly 4 inches long, cut below a leaf node and strip off the lower leaves before inserting in compost. Do not fertilise cuttings - they need roots to take up water and fertiliser.

Thanks for the info. I have made the recommended adjustments. Curious to see how they turn out.
Buddleia cuttings are very easy. Don't cosset them -no food. Just tuck them out the way somewhere. I had to remove one from a border recently where I'd stuck bits to keep the r*ddy cats off a bit of bare ground, and it was rooted and growing. You can literally just stick bits in the ground
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
