I absolutely LOVE buddlias...i have a corner and introducing different colours too...our 🦋🦋🦋❤them...they are underated as grow anywhere and when not tended can look messy...they are definitely bomb proof shrubs, i cut mine back every spring ready for for the summer 🇬🇧...Ty for sharing your beautiful collection🎉
2 of mine, including Pugster, and Miss Molly never came back from the roots this Spring. I am in 5 b. Others are not so wonderful. Years ago my old fashioned Types came back faithfully and bloomed until October. I find that many of the perennials that have been “ IMPROVED” are great when first purchased, but never come back, such as the Cheyenne Spirit Echinaceas and many others. Too bad.
I too experienced Miss Molly and Pugster Amethyst did not survive my zone 6 , equivalent to USDA 5. I’m giving it one more try with Pugster White and Miss Violet Butterfly bush, trying one near the same location ( as The light and soil conditions meet the requirements] and one in another location. 🇨🇦
Many of these PW plants are not Proven hardy or Winners in my opinion. I am in Zone 5B and I lose too many PW shrubs and perennials in recent years. I have better success with First Edition brand of Bailey Nurseries. Readily available at most garden centers and Lowe's. PW has only Proven to be a big disappointing Gimmick. Good luck.
That’s why I prefer to just have old fashion plants. I also had these hybrids and didn’t survive the winter. I grew plants mostly for pollinators and birds so planting native old fashion ones are just reliable. But I have hybrid annual for impact.
This may well have changed my opion of buddleia's, they grow really well(too well) where I live so I have thought of them as pests but they cope so well with the hot dry summers and cold winters(very little if any snow). I love your manner of growing them, nice thick rounded shrubs, beautiful, and a very good and helpful video. Sorry I am not close enough to shop there - SW France- thank you and all the best.
Just started following you . Just got my first butterfly bush..Miss Molly from PW. It’s small but love the color. Do I prune it back I. The spring or just let it go? It’s in a spot where it’s by itself.. Sorry I’m in 6a, near Flint Mi
I follow the pruning instructions (simple) in The Ultimate Butterfly Bush Care Guide on the PW website. I prune in Spring as I’m in 8b and my Miss Violet doesn’t die back to the ground.

A very beautiful plant! I liked these bushes!
Those are absolutely beautiful!
Yes! I have been loving these collection comparison vids. Please keep them coming.
Nice presentation. Beautiful plants.
Beautiful collection! Love the purple collection!
Great! I appreciate all the information on seasonal change, flower/plant size, pruning and the comparison to similar perennials
These are very helpful videos. I would also love to see a comparison of the dwarf varieties if you have also been testing those. Thanks!

@@Braedensground I recently discovered First Edition brands, and purchased one of their hydrangeas. Fingers crossed!
Check out Jim Putnams channel. He was recently at Chicago botanical garden. They really trial their plants!
Stunning!!!

It might help if you mentioned what Zone you're in.

Why are buddelia considered invasive?
Non-sterile varieties can seed really profusely & freely. Check for sterile varieties if buddlelia is considered invasive in your zone.
The older ones threw seeds everywhere……and they all grew into big plants!
How can I buy these?

Why you mumbling, I barely understand what you're saying 🙄
