 Clyde, with all due respect, it DOES grow in Indiana. I have seen gorgeous
 bushes at Burnham Woods, a perennial nursery northeast of Bloomington.
 Big, tall, covered with butterflies and flowers, looking just like they're
 supposed to look. All varieties. Admittedly I have not seen any in gardens
 of "real people." But I know it IS possible to have Buddleia here, and I
 won't rest until I find out the secret!

Hi Bobbi!
I wish you luck!! But to me it is in the same category as the daphnes, heaths,
heathers, laurels, most azaleas, most rhodies, gingers, and that AWFUL Korean
dogwood. Our winters are MUCH too severe to grow budds and such. NOW, maybe if
we had a dependable snow cover......

Try growing the early blooming annuals here in central Indiana-clarkias et al.
--cannot do!
