<< I'm right down river from you in Louisville, KY. My buddleas have been in

started within a week of each other.
===>I've driven to daffodil shows in Louisville in early April several times
and find that you are 2-3 weeks ahead of Cincinnati in bloom and leaf. I
suspect too that your buddleias may be earlier than ours because yours do not
die back to the ground in the winter like ours do, so you have a head start.
Having said that, I think that a background of buddleas with dahlias in the
front are quite a show right now. Buddlea 'Black Knight' and any blood red
dahlia, like 'Bishop of Llandaff' are made for each other. I was hoping
that my goldenrod would start blooming, too, but it hasn't hinted that it
would join in the chorus just yet. >>
===>My 'Bishop' is showing no signs of blooming yet and we see goldenrod here
in September. Louisville is a very different season from Cincinnati.
Although we are called Zone 6a, we are the very northern tip of it and you're
over 100 miles south of us. Apparently that makes quite a difference.
