: I have had a Butterfly Bush for two years now, and it has not bloomed yet. It also has some yellow that has come on the stems. What could this be?

Is the yellow the color of the stem or is it something that is growing on the stem?

Butterfly bush likes full to part sun. At least 6 hours of sun is good. Prune in late winter to 12" as they bloom on new wood and plant in a compost amended site.
