RE: butterfly bush

Wait til June anyway.  They may sprout from near the base and they do grow
fast.  If it sprouts, cut out the dead wood.

I live in Zone 4b in Ontario, Canada and Butterfly bushes are not reliably
hardy here.  After several attempts, I have had to accept that they are
simply annuals.  You are probably a few degrees milder than us, so your
chances of success may be a little better.  It would be best to plant one
next to a south wall, if you try one again.
