My butterfly bush has yellowing leaves and the ones near the base look scorched and burnt. I planted it several months ago. I removed the affected leaves and removed the spent blooms.

The dwarf firepower nandina are three years old and I recently tranplanted them. However they have never grown bigger than this size. I don't know what to do to get them to grow fuller.

I live in Zone 7 in Huntersville, NC. I regret to say I never had a soil test done. I know that I have some fungus problems in my lawn.

I love being outside and working in the gardening. Unfortunately, I'm still a beginner. I haven't found any books in the library that help and I always come back here for information. Thank you for any help.
