I hesitate to respond to a BB thread given my infamous lack of success with these plants :(.

FrozeBudd, do you plan to keep them potted this season and overwinter them this way?

Rouge, I intend to separate the plants and tuck one or two next to the foundation of the house and the other will remain potted and stored in the coldroom. 'Buzz Midnight (also next to the foundation) is now 30 inches tall and budding up. 'Crown Jewels' is poky slow this summer and I'll take a cutting to get a new plant going. I also recently planted 'Black knight'.

Lilyfinch, despite my far north location, buddleia are being offered more frequently, especially compact selections that make for great container plants.

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm hoping the OP will see and provide input. Did the 'Buzz Hot Raspberry' attract butterflies? A local grower is selling them at the Farmers' Market for only $4, so I bought one to try. But if I knew the butterflies really liked them, I'd pick up a few more next week. Thanks.

Nice to see you on the boards again, Ruth!

Ruth, whatever buddleia bushes I've grown, they always attract good number of bees, butterflies and hoverflies.

Thanks, mxk3, and thanks for the info FrozeBudd!

I got a dog four years ago and between that and running, I ran out of time and let my poor gardens go. I'm trying to get them back in to reasonable shape, with a combination of easier-to-care for areas (hostas and hellebores everywhere!) and a couple less neat, but pollinator-friendly areas.

Yes, gardening sure can also be an excellent means of exercise, especially if one's yard is of good decent size, each spring my gained winter pounds melt away.

Wow!
