Hints and Tips
1. Prune in late winter early spring when the plant shows signs of new growth.
2. Remember most buddleia blossom at the tips of the branches but a couple of varieties flower on 2nd year growth from the stem. If in doubt, leave half the stems.
3. First give it a rough prune, reduce the overall height by 50% so you can get better access.
4. Remove dead, damaged, decayed, diseased, crowded, crossover branches.
5. Finally prune down to 30cm just above a fresh growth. The fresh growth will become the new branch.
6. If you want to avoid self seeding dead head the blossoms when they have gone over. Alternatively, leave them for nature.
