Buddleia needs help

Hi all, I recently brought a sungold buddleia online and when it arrived the stem had snapped and the soil was also dripping wet, I repotted it in less damp soil and have kept it inside on a sunny windowsill to protect it. All that was left was a small stump, no leaves, (see photo) and Its been about two weeks but there doesn’t seem to be any signs of new growth. Is it a lost cause? Is there anything else I can do?
thanks

    Has it got any alive leaves? A photo might help. Your description doesn't sound good :(

    That’s what I was thinking too 😕
    no, no leaves just a small stalk left, I’ve edited the post to include a photo

    I'd be very surprised if that came to anything, I think that's a money back situation.

    Oh dear @sam.ireland. That really doesn't look promising.  :/
    I'd agree with @nutcutlet. I think you need a refund. It's worth attaching that photo to any contact you have with the seller. A healthy plant would have been showing some growth. 
    I hope you get a resolution. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
