Bringing a buddleia back to ground level

laurasimoniteDTlEafNH · 2022-07-16 13:48:27

Hello! I'm new here and quite new to gardening so hoping someone can help. We have a huge buddleia in our garden inherited from previous owners. It's beautiful but the flowers are all now quite high up, so we have mostly wooden stalks at eye-level. Does anyone know how best to trim it (next spring) to try and encourage it…

You really don't have to be careful about the way you cut buddleia back. I cut mine down to a few inches above ground level every year and it's generally back up to about 6 feet or more by the end of the season ready to be done again.
