I live in nothern Mayland. I planted a butterfly bush in late July of this year. It's been really hot this summer so I've been watering it every day if not every other day. Just enough to keep it moist. But this past week it's been turning brown. It looks almost dead. From reading other comments I see that I shouldn't cut it back till spring and that they come back pretty well from trauma. Is there anything else I can do to bring it back? Or should I just wait it out and hope for the best?
