OP BFVISION Member Joined: Aug 2003 NJ, NORTHERN COUNTY	I need help Last year my butterfly bush grew to 10 feet tall and was a specimen for the ages . This year the entire plant is dead , except for some new growth coming up from the ground near the base. Does this plant die back completely each year? <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />

Don't worry, it'll be back bigger and better than last year in no time. They grow from the ground up each gardening season.
