Can anyone recommend a buddleia thats not too big
and a nice dark colour. Any new varieties ?
Have a look at the Buddleja 'Buzz' range. Eila, you might find one there that fits the bill.
Thanks had a look and they now have a 3 coloured buzz plant, seems crazy, a bit expensive at £15
will have to save my pennies.
Save your pennies on the three coloured one, there's no such thing! They stick one of each colour cuttings in a pot.!
Hear hear Lyn. I wonder who was trying that little fiddle?
Hmm thought the 3 colours was too good to be true !
will check the Harlequin out thanks
Ella, I give mine the Chelsea chop which prevents them getting too tall.
Joyce - Mine are pruned back to the ground every spring, and grow up 6' tall by mid summer. Doesn't a summer prune cut off all the flowers?
We have B. Miss Ruby ... compact and floriferous and a fabulous colour ... really recommend it

Blue onion....the Chelsea chop just delays flowering. You can take every second or third branch half way back to have a longer flowering time.
