Re: Buddleias

Hi Barb,
Buddleias are really easy to start from cuttings. Cut from new growth about 5-6' from tip and leave the top 3-5 leaves dip in hormon or make your own by leaveing willow cutting in water for aweek and then dip in water remaining. willow produces it's won growth hormone in it's bark. Springs best but here we can do it most any time...Zone 8.

Subject: Buddleias
I started some buddleias from purchased seed about 4-5 years ago and managed to get about 5 of them started. Not particularly pretty as far as color (sort 
of washed out purple/blue) and they are woody rangy plants (about 5+ feet
tall), but fragrant and mostly hardy here in southern Wisconsin. I have to saw the woody stems down each year in the spring, and new growth starts up from the roots if the plant has made through the winter. I have two left, one died out, and I removed the others from the veg. garden. I think I put them there as a holding area and never got around to moving them and kept having to run 
the tiller around them.
The named varieties are so much nicer.
