Dark knight is my favourite buddleia and I have it growing up tall in the back garden. I think I need a lighter flower in the new site as the backdrop is a dark shed. I'm not even completely sold on it being a buddleia either.
Globosa is the first buddleia to flower here. It starts in the end of may - start of June.
I didn’t know there were so many varieties of buddliea - does anyone grow the common weedy purple one? I think I have one of those as well as a white one. Do they self seed?
The common one seeds very readily. That's why it appears in all sorts of places The cultivated ones are better behaved. Easy to propagate from cuttings.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I had one of those @punkdoc and it just never grew. I'm not sure why because I know they can be very vigorous but it just sat there for three or four years at exactly the same size before keeling over. It's a good suggestion but I think I want one I can hack back yearly without worrying if it won't flower the same year.
