Butterfly bush (Buddleia) benefits from severe annual pruning. Cut it back to 12–18 inches above ground any time between now and late February. This encourages vigorous new growth, keeps the shrub from smothering neighbors, and promotes heavier flowering.
Without hard pruning, butterfly bush quickly becomes a sprawling thicket that shades out everything around it. A yearly reset keeps it tidy, floriferous, and in scale with your garden.
