Hard pruned it today due to it seriously blocking the sun. Really hope I’ve not killed it with rashness.

    Well its different!    You usually cut these down to about a foot from the ground in March.

    Buddleias are bomb-proof. You will get new foliage in a few weeks.

    If you have managed to kill it, I'm sure there are many people out there who would be interested to learn how you achieved it ;)

    Ahaha thanks everyone! It was blocking light from our whole garden and had to go!

    I chopped both of mine down to a stump last year as they had grown way too big and they were up and flowering again this summer, I'm glad as the bees and butterflies love it.
