Well, it had to be done.
We moved the remaining three butterfly bushes.
I had heard that they could be invasive. Wasn't exactly sure HOW invasive.
They are SEED invasive!
We have removed hundreds of small plants. Many of them had grown very well where they fell and I know that I will now have seven years of pulling them out from where they fell last fall. I can not let them to continue to grow where I had planted them as they were not in the appropriate place for being a seed invasive plant.
So, they were drastically cut back, dug up and replanted to the side yard and now it doesn't really matter how many seeds fall. I just hope they will grow as well where we have planted them as the seeds grew where we didn't want them.
Another lesson learned.
