Jaldi ka kaam Shaitan ka! I promised myself not to move my buddleia Buzz Ivory till winter since it grew too high and was blocking the view of my roses. Then I said what the hell will take it out carefully. Mali was very confident. Then gatchi came out good .. Then broke :( the end result is painful as is plainly seen. Any recommendations....

Put a shade over the plant so it does not get any sun at all. I would mist it daily as moisture is important at this stage. Water every other day for a week mixed with a small amount of rooting harmone one time only. Try rooting some cuttings too they should be green.

Pruning will also help as roots are not able to support large plant.....sacrifice for survival.
I would second khabbab...do not let sun shine on the plant.

KBW thanks! It's my second year gardening and I'm slowly settling down now and things are somewhat more under control now.

Khabbab when I saw the buddleia this morning I put the green cloth to shade it and chopped it in half before full sun. Hope the cuttings survive!!!

...was looking for this shrub for almost two years and even got a small rooted cutting from overseas which did not survive the heat. Finally bought this at a local nursery near my house. Unveiling one of my first few blooms of Magnolia Figo or Banana shrub... :D ......uniquely fragrant

Kaleem Saheb I have iris scattered 3 places in my lawn in groups of 3-4. One place has 2. The problem is they have different blooming periods like daylilies eg early, early-mid, mid and late blooming. Next purchase will be based on more information insha'Allah.
