Buddleja Buzz

Orange_King

I bought the collection from T&M (9 jumbo plugs on offer for £12.99) and they all appear to be doing well. But will these need brought into the greenhouse for the winter if they are just in pots or will they be safe enough outside?

I brought the fuschias inside at the weekend and will need to start creating more space if the buddleja have to come in too!

PS These are back on offer at the moment reduced from £30.

I brought three pencil plugs of the Buddleia Buzz at the beginning of the year and although small and healthy they did absolutley brilliantly this year. I was amazed at how much they gre and what an abundance of flowers they produced (still are although smaller now)

I have mine in pots and to be honest hadnt thought about overwintering them indoors.

When the leaves start to drop i might move them in against the wall of the house but thats all i was going to do for these. I think Buddleias are tough cookies of the plant world so wills ee what other comments come along

I am also overwintering my fucias. I stripped all the leaves and flowers off them, cut them back and now they are in the coldframe

Hmm. I have this and while it's done well I was very disappointed with the colour. I get very little orange on mine at all, it's mainly purple/ blue flowering.


Buddliea in general is quite tough though, look at how they naturalise on rail way ambankments for example. I don't baby mine at all. But then mine was about Half a foot tall and I planted it out, but it was a mild year.
