Butterfly bushes are dicots. Dicots are flowering plants that have two cotyledons in their seeds, while monocots have one cotyledon. Butterfly bushes belong to the dicot family due to their seed structure.
water it as often as it is burning to extinguish the flames...if it survives water it and fertilize it so that it will recover
Snowball bushes, specifically the species Viburnum opulus (common snowball), typically bloom on old wood. This means that flowers develop on the growth from the previous year. It's important to prune these bushes after they bloom to avoid cutting off the buds for the next season. In contrast, some other varieties, like Viburnum plicatum, can bloom on new wood, so it's essential to know the specific type you have.
Buddleia is the scientific name for butterfly bushes.
Deadheading flowers as the bloom fades, removing damaged, dangerous, diseased branches as they occur and trimming to the ground describe the trimming schedule for butterfly bushes. The flowering plants in question (Buddleia spp) handle extreme cutting all the way down to where the base forks into separate stems late in winter, such as February to March along the coasts and in interior areas of the Mid-Atlantic states in the United States of America. Before and subsequent to cold seasons butterfly bush survives deadheading for improved flowering through the last bloom times and pruning inconvenient, unhealthy branches as long as the cut is made into dry wood.
Never.
All butterfly bushes should be pruned in the spring before the new wood starts growing.
Azalea bushes typically bloom in the spring, but some varieties, such as the Encore azaleas, are bred to bloom multiple times throughout the year, including in August. The blooming in late summer is influenced by their growth cycle and environmental factors like temperature and moisture. Proper care, including pruning and fertilization, also encourages these late blooms.
They eat nectar plants, such as butterfly bushes, and flowers that bees suck nectar out of.

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.
