Planted a nice size (about 4' tall), vibrant Butterfly Bush about 6
weeks
ago. It did well, bloomed, made new blooms. The this past week, it
just
crashed and died. Leaves wilted and then it just croaked. I am in
South
Louisiana. Zone 10. Everything else in that flowerbed is doing fine
and
growing strong.
Wonder what happened. We had a lot of rain but then the last two weeks
have
been really hot and dry. The Butterfly Bush was on the east side of the
house.

I am not an expert on these, but mine were struggling in full sun, moved
them to partial shade and they are taking over. Maybe too much sun?
Taken over? I just bought a house with a gorgeous butterfly bush out front.
Sometimes I like plants that spread/take over, but not sure about this one
yet. Do they tend to get invasive if not disciplined?
