I planted the dwarf buddlia in the ground and it is now about 6ft tall. I trained it as a standard and the trunk is about 24/30 inches high. It is white with a yellow eye and very prolific flowering.
However, the soil below and along that bed is so poor and dry, the ground slopes away at the back.
Over the years I have tried to grow many things, mostly with out success, even before the Buddlia (how do you spell that !) .
The bed is only about 2.6 inches wide, and I am thinking of clearing it. So shall I leave the pretty Buddlia ?
I was thinking next year I could underplant all along this bed with either Delsosperma "Desert Jewel", has all the colours. Or, Mesembryanthemum, I am not sure how hardy these are, I normally think in terms of bedding for the latter.
I am really fed up with it now and wondering what to do for the best. Even the beautiful white penstemon is curling its toes up. I shall have to move that.
Your opinions will be much appreciated. Thanks and regards, Mrs Bouquet
