    Hey! ... I wear trainers and not sandals when gardening, (and I trim my toenails)! .... and I have less hair:(

    this pic comes from this site in the USA or somewhere but is good as it shows the size of the leaves ... I have big hands!
    :D

    I have 4 Budleias. Empire Blue, Black Knight, White Cloud, and Globosa and they're great survivors as they seem to shrug off the hardest Winters. I also used to put branch cuts into the garage for a year or two and then use them for supports, only to find them rooting and sprouting....now that's a survivor!!:D
    They are an outstanding insect attractor and the birds love using them as a Fly By Restaurant.
    My only problem with them is when it comes to pruning the dead flowerheads off. The fine pollen on them just chokes me and I have to wear a safety mask to do the job!!:what::mute:
