Your butterfly bush collection needs Lo & Behold® 'Blue Chip Jr.'! This special selection blooms earlier than any other plant in the Lo & Behold series, extending the season by up to two weeks each summer. Foliage has appealing silvery tones for better drought tolerance and better looks. We also like that it's a bit smaller and less brittle than other butterfly bushes, making it perfect for landscaping near pools, patios, anywhere you can enjoy its non-stop display of blue flowers in the summer. This Proven Winners butterfly bush is another fantastic innovation from Dr. Dennis Werner of NCSU and is non-invasive and approved for sale in Oregon and Washington.

In regards to plant growth. It is hard to say for certain why you haven't seen growth since so many factors such as weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing all come into play. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. We hope this helps.
Again, our customer service team is always here to help out. Happy Gardening!
Hope they make it.
