Butterfly Bush
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. Any idea what this might be and what she can do for it? I've not seen it she was just describing it. We are in TN if that helps. |

Pretty hard to kill one of these from my experience, they grow like weeds. |

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?

Buddleia does well when cut
back to about ten inches (or even less) in spring. There will be new growth from the roots and flowers will bloom on new wood. That's what I always do, but I've also seen interesting plants trained as single stem trees. |
