most of the Buddleias are winter-hardy 
shrubs. In colder climates they may behave 
as herbaceous perennials, new stems arising 
each season. Since they bloom on the new 
growth, this doesn’t lessen the number of 3 
flowers. Buddleias grow with ease from 
seed, usually giving a truss or two of 
bloom first year from early sowings. Illus- 
trated opposite. The seed is fine. Order
