Buddleia not flowering

I planted Buddleia 'Black Knight' last year and it hasn't grown an inch! Do I have the only garden in the country where they won't grow?

 

I planted one last year two. Mine's massive.

 

Thanks Armandii. If I remember I'll take a picture of it tomorrow, it's pathetic!

 

My Buddleia Globosa is flowering now. Covered in bees!





Sorry to rub it in

 

My excuse for a Buddleia as promised, it's about sixteen inches high and looking very sad.

 

Awwww Sheal

 

Buddleja Globosa are also flowering here, here's one from a few weeks ago.. This is a wild self sown one on the heathland/woodland edge.



The globosa flowering must be nearly over here now.

 

My guess on that one is this is a mature specimen, it has been around for maybe more than 10 years (it's about 10 metres high).. there are many smaller seedling around it, and further out. It may be because it is to large, and here they are completely evergreen, they don't lose leaves.. evergreen ones would flower earlier than any that lost leaves.

In their natural habitat, they are evergreen, they are a subtropical plant from Chile.

Does yours stay evergreen?

 

Well it's not mine per se, it's actually natures.. I spotted on a walk through the local dales the other day. Potential to become a bit of a thug though..!

 

I pruned mine early last year and didn't get any flowers on it that year, now it's a riot with them because of the lack of pruning I've done. Mine only about 6' high and nearly 3 years old.
