I have a big butterfly bush. Do I cut it back now or in the spring? I cut it back hard last year and it came back beautifully but I cannot remember if I cut it in the fall or spring! Help! Thank you.

It reall doesn’t matter whether you cut it back now or in spring. I’d suggest cutting it back in spring after i starts showing new groth and cut it back just above where the new growth is showing. If we have an easy winter, it might show new growth higher on the old stem resulting in a bushier plant.
