Yes, they can. Make sure you provide plenty of water, esp if its hot, or at least just once a week to be sure. Water at the base of plant, not at the bush, and let the water trickle down slowly for at least 5-10 minutes. This establishes a strong and deep root system. Good luck!

Yes, there can be butterfly bushes in Pennsylvania. The state nicknamed the Keystone and the Quaker states easily handles plants that are cold hardy to minus 15 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 26.11 to minus 15 degrees Celsius). The range puts the second state to be admitted into the Union, Dec. 12, 1787, within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) cold hardiness zones five to seven, into which butterfly bushes (Buddleia spp) fit.
Butterfly bushes grow rapidly and benefit from pruning. Individual flowers or clusters needn't be removed. In the fall, mulch well. In the spring, cut back drooping or other unwanted branches. Follow general pruning guides.... cut just above the joint of another branch, so growth may continue. Every three years (after the plant is well-established) entirely cut off (at the ground) the oldest third of the branches. Butterfly bushes may be trained into general shapes by pruning (conical, etc) but are best as specimen plants in their fairly natural shape, as a backdrop for other plants in the flower bed.
