Hi, I'm new to gardening/landscaping and I think I made some mistakes this summer- pretty, but now I'm lost.

Firstly, I was away traveling and didn't know when or how to prune these plants, now I'm not sure what to do before first frost. Do I prune them now? How far down? Also with butterfly bushes. I love them all and want to see them gorgeous again next year....I would hate to mess this all up!

Also, a lot of placement was wrong, when do I relocate them? Now or spring? If spring, how early? I just got so excited everytime I was at the garden center I would get something and put it in the ground then Voila- come mid summer I saw all my mistakes :) LOL.

All help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much in advance.
