Tnanks so much for letting me know what you found out.** :)Once your butterfly bush goes to seed you'll have lots more volunteers.* It's been listed as an invasive or potential invasive in many states.* I deadhead mine to keep it blooming, but I try and cut off all the seed heads at the end of the season so it doesn't spread around.* I'm considering adding it to the compost pile.** :(

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
