Which Buddleia To Buy
Hi, I've decided on a Buddleia for my garden, south/West facing with normal/clay soil.I want it to be at least 6ft and fast growing if possible. It will be between a laurel and a Sambucus Nigra and will have about 7/8ft space between. All recommendations welcome. Thanks..

I love the white ones, but the only drawback of them is that they look a bit manky when the flowers turn. You don't notice it so much on the darker ones.
I have Black Knight, which is a dark purple, and needs minimal attention, other than the usual pruning back each year.
There's a nice rosy purple one too if you like those colours. It might work well with your Sambucus too.

Has anyone got experience of buying shrubs online..
I'd steer clear of Crocus, as it's hideously expensive, and it's just a retailer, rather than a nursery. Claire Austin, Burncoose and Jacksons are good.
Not sure how many buddleias they stock, but if you start a separate thread you'll get suggestions.
