Butterfly bush is scrawny

Centerville, IA

My butterfly bush is just now branching out of the ground and is not as full as it usually is. Do you think that freaky early frost affected it? I depend on it to fill a corner of my garden with its arching purple blooms. Also, a few of its leaves have little holes in them and it's never been bothered by insects before.

I lost all 4 of my very healthy butterfly bushes to the winter and late freeze. I had to buy a new one. I think it is Pink Delight. I was just sick over losing the yellow one. So rejoice that yours even survived.
