I had an alternifolia, but it died :-(
That was because my front garden had/has some kind of nasty fungus that
caused root-rot and death - of about half a dozen completely unrelated
plants. And, no, it was/is NOT honey fungus. My current buddleia is
alive, but it was only a cutting and I am not betting on it being long-
lived.
Yes, B. alternifolia is very nice - less blowsy than B. davidii, but
equally tough and easy to care for.
Regards,
Nick Maclaren.
