Hope this is the right place? If not I am sorry. I have transplanted my Butterfly bush and have no clue if I should prune it back, or just he dead flowers on it?
Thanks,

if you cut it back, the roots won't have so much green to support, and they can concentrate on sinking their feet in good. Don't cut it back, though, more than 1/3.

After the freeze and the sap goes down, you can cut it back further if you want to.

I cut mine back in fall, no problem. There's a whole big thread about this in the classic threads forum, if you're interested
