Update

On May 5, I posted that there were some really tall things growing in my butterfly bushes. Turns out that they were not weeds at all, but was new growth. Super growth, to be exact. The damn things are taller than I am and are blooming like crazy. I'm making a mental note to slash them back in a big way in the fall. I don't want them to take over my house.

Wait until February to prune them. I have three white butterfly bushes that are monstrous every year. February is when I do mine. Or since you're in Nashville, you could do November.

Thanks. I planted them last year, so didn't need to prune them this year. I was told that they would get enormous, but I had no idea exactly how enormous that would be.
