unlike others near me, I don't think I've gotten more than one or two seedlings from my 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. -Barb in Wis. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to majordomo@hort.net with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE PERENNIALS
