Anyone grow these in containers in Zone 5 (or colder) AND overwinter them inside, either in the basement or as a houseplant? If so what measures did you use?
Butterfly Bush
I growed mine in containers, sat down in my basement window well put leaves around it or else at the back of a building with lots of leaves around pot. Nearly always over wintered ok for me. This yr I planted mine in the ground but not really impressed with it. I guess its not getting enough sun. Dixie
I dont know anything about over wintering. I do know that the Butterfly Bush does not transplant very well...if at all! ...and Dixie it does need a lot of sun....you are lucky its hanging in there...maybe you need to give it a lot of TLC. :)
