don't forget to start collecting seeds..it saves loads of dosh! I cut down foxglove stems and stick them upside down in a bin liner, give them a good shake and leave them. After a few weeks the seeds can be put in a paper bag <not plastic, it rots them> or grown on in a tray of compost for next year.
I am keeping my foxgloves separate now because the self seeded plants are getting out of control.
Same for poppies, and the toadflax I talked about earlier, tiny little seeds.
I have a lot of butterflies on the buddleia this year..lots more than last year. Tortoiseshell, peacock, cabbage white, Red Admiral and one that I don't know its name..will try and find a pic. I want a white one, so I may be taking cuttings from a friend.
What a great shrub they are...easy to grow on any soil, you can hack them down to ground level every spring and they grow back to six or seven feet in one season.
