If I deadhead the spent flowers on my butterfly bush, will it bloom again?

Welcome Nonie. Yes it might help to bring on more blooms. Mine tends to bloom all summer long anyway. But I found if I trimmed it back a little, it got more new blooms and just looked fresher in general. Then in fall or winter I cut it back a lot. that works well here in S. Cal.

Welcome to the forum, Nonie!
I find deadheading helps most things do better for longer, so it wouldn't hurt to try!
I'm glad you found us. Come back often!

If your Honeysuckle is showing any signs of new growth, it will bloom again... be patient...
