Buddleja 'Pink Cascade'

Plant Care: Shrub - Hard Pruning (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on one year of new growth): Cut down all branches to the base of the plant every year in the late winter or early spring, leaving a few inches with buds to regrow.
