Thought some of you might be able to help with this. A friend of ours has
a
Butterfly Bush. She thinks its dying. The leaves are curled up and the
flowers look wilted.

Even in TN it sounds very early for flowers. Here in West Va, I don't expect to
see them till late June. They are hard to kill, but I may have the same
problem. The 2 biggest ones (+7' tall) so far have no new shoots this year. The
dozen or so others are doing fine. I'm wondering if I may have let them get too
big although I have seen bigger healthy ones. I also would be interested in an
answer. I have pruned them back, but I am thinking maybe I should cut them
almost to the ground and hope that some new shoots come up. Anyone know?
