Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
I've recently inherited a Buddleia that needs cutting back because it's looking a bit wild, but some new shoots have already started to appear. Will it damage the plant and loose potential buds for the forthcoming year if I do cut it back?

Make your cuts just above 1 or 2 of the new shoots. That way you can be fairly certain of having flowers. You need to do it every single year, and next time, don't be shy about cutting back.
