• Planted 6 in one bed and 6 in another bed. Some lasted one year, but eventually all died. Even when first planted, the branches were more noticeable than the flowers. Also I noticed none of the low scoring reviews are published which is a shame considering reviews are part of how your plants come to the public in the first place.

• One of my favorite plants. Beautiful and care free except for cutting back each year after leaves begin to emerge at the base of the plant. This may not happen until some time in June--long after other plants are growing and blooming. However, the wait is well worth it, as the plant then blooms profusely until frost--without requiring any deadheading.

• The plant is growing beautifully, but is getting so big it’s starting to fall apart from it’s round shape. Should I cut it back, it also has a lot of dead heads right now?

• Zone 5a here. Has come up for the past 3 years I had it. It is very slow to get started in the spring like most butterfly bushes. That said I planted Miss Molly last fall and it was pretty robust and shown its face pretty quickly this spring for a butterfly bush. I have higher hopes for that one. Anyway.... Blue Chip did not come back up this year. Almost June now, it would of been up by now. Darn. I hear the Purple Haze is a bit hardier. Gonna try that one next.

• I planted this summer 2015, after my hubby trampled it and it was buried in snow this past winter, I didn't expect it to survive. This spring I see some green shoots off the base so it looks like it survived making it one tough plant. I can't wait to see how it grows this summer and what it does next year

• Absolutely love this shrub. I have five planted with my daylilies and coneflowers. What a nonstop show, that will continue all of the way into October. The fragrance is wonderful. Am also seeing all kinds of butterflies. I do trim back back in the Spring when I see signs of growth.

• It performs really well but it is much taller than advertised thus causing me problems where I placed it. Mine are 37-38" tall, not 24-30".

• I purchased two of these amazing and delightful little babies! They are absolutely great! Grew (the first year) to their full capacity (30X30X30high); are beautiful plants (I received so many compliments); I had absolutely No problems with them-they are carefree; and I, the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds loved them. I would recommend this plant to everyone !
