Deadheading your plants—clipping off the spent blossoms—is a super-easy way to encourage flowers to bloom more. Here are some tips on how to deadhead correctly.
Buddleja lindleyana grows to < 3 m in height in the wild, its slender branches tetragonous in section, and slightly winged. The dark green leaves are opposite, ovate , 4 – 20 cm in length. The individual purple flowers are arguably among the most attractive of the genus , but occur in such small numbers intermittently along slender, terminal ...
Deadheading is a widespread form of pruning, [1] since fading flowers are not as appealing and direct a lot of energy into seed development if pollinated. [2] The goal of deadheading is thus to preserve the attractiveness of the plants in beds, borders, containers and hanging baskets, as well as to encourage
Buddleja macrostachya grows 1–6 m in height, flowering from March to September in the wild. The branchlets are quadrangular, and winged, stellate tomentose when young. The leaves are sessile or subsessile, narrowly to very narrowly elliptic, and hugely variable in size, ranging from 4–45 cm long by 1–15 cm wide, mostly stellate tomentose, the margins crenate-serrate, and the apex acuminate.
Buddleja coriacea is a variable species endemic to the high Andes from the Cordillera Blanca in Peru to Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. It grows on dry to semi-humid rocky soils at elevations of 3,000–4,350 m, [ 1 ] where temperatures range from −3° to 15° C. and the winds are both strong and persistent.
Buddleja fallowiana is a deciduous shrub typically growing to a height of 4 m (13 ft). Of loose habit, the plant has young shoots clothed with a dense white felt. The ovate to narrowly elliptic leaves are 4–13 cm (1.6–5.1 in) long by 1 cm (0.39 in) wide, acuminate or acute at the apex; the upper and lower surfaces densely tomentose, bestowing a silvery grey sheen.
Buddleja nivea reaches 1–3 m high, and is chiefly distinguished by the dense white indumentum covering the branchlets, calyxes, and undersides of the leaves. The lanceolate leaves are of variable size, 6–22 cm long by 1.5–11 cm wide; they are acute or acuminate at the apex, rounded at the base, and very coarsely toothed except at the apex.
Buddleja tubiflora grows to < 2 m in height, with the typically lax habit creating a spread of < 3 m. The shrub is chiefly distinguished by its striking orange flowers, the corollas 25 mm long by 6 mm wide at the throat, borne in axillary clusters towards the ends of the branches.
