Self seeding buddleias


Yes, buddleias do easily self-seed at least here, in this mild and humid
coastal spot of Northern Spain. Another plant that becomes invasive in the
same way is Pampa Grass (Cortaderia sellowiana). I guess every plant can be
a 'problem' (?) when finds the right, ideal soil and climate conditions...
