No planting it but I mean it takes hold and does well. When should they flower. It's very small and thin at the moment.

The flowering time depends on the variety (there are lots 'n' lots) - from late winter/early spring right through to late summer.
Good value, buddleias - and good for goldfinches in winter.
Rather contentious as to when to prune: always gets us going !! I prune in mid-March but some prune before winter. I don't go for that because the seedheads are very valuable food for finches.

I prune mine to 3 - 4 feet in January, then again but lower in April this makes sure they flower a bit later in the year.
