Comment:
Buddleia is a very hardy plant, with possible dieback to the crown in zones 5 and 6. New growth will sprout in the spring. In other zones the plant may be pruned close to the ground in late winter to produce superior flowers. There could be problems with nematodes in sandy soil. Some people’s skin is sensitive to the foliage.
