So I have a buddleia that has a lot of sentimental value for me which I'm keen not to lose and no gardening knowledge whatsoever. When we moved house in February we uprooted it from our old garden and planted it in our new garden (pruning it first); it thrived over the summer. Now we have just moved house again and again we dug it up and brought it with us. It was sitting on our patio for a couple of days, I've just this morning got round to planting it in the garden. I'm so afraid it's going to die, especially with this cold weather (it is both frosty and foggy where we are, it was covered in frost, though there were no obviously signs of damage), and wondering if I've done the right thing with it. I've not pruned it (you prune them in spring, right?) and I've not watered it in, just dug a nice, deep hole and filled it in with some of the existing soil in the garden and some multi-purpose compost. Should I water it in? Should I dig it up, put it in a pot and replant it again in the spring? I was going to put it in a pot initially but the pot I bought turned out to be too small.
