How about Buddleia? I am always confused when it comes to deadheading that one with the geometry of its growth. After a nice size flower spike blooms out there are always the next buds flanking each side of it, but the overall form just gets thinner, taller, stragglier as the season progresses... How much should it be cut back with deadheading throughout its bloom season?

Another reader pointed this out but it bears repeating: Foxglove is/was the source for the heart medication, digitalis. (Herbalists used to "prescribe" foxglove for people believed to have heart ailments, long before we had mechanical diagnostic capabilities.) FOXGLOVE IS POISONOUS.
