    Is it the same for mini buddelia? I have 3, 1 in a pot and 2 in the ground. Do I need to prune these hard?

    Hi Rusty,
    it was my Buddelia "Buzz"'s first season in the pot last year and I have only tidied it up a bit . It will be interesting to see how it shapes up this year. It's not growing on rampantly ATM,

    In my experience Buddleja doesn't grow very fast in its first year. I think it is too busy getting settled in. Its the second and subsequent years when it grows really fast.

    Am I right in thinking that Buzz is a dwarf variety Jenny?

      Different pruning characteristics to the Big 'Uns then? Presumably still cut back, but its not going to need the Big Loppers in a few years time I guess :)
