Count me in also as someone who has grown Butterfly Bush for a long time and has not found it invasive. I'm all in favor of native plants in the garden, and they make up 75% of my own garden, but Butterfly Bush is too effective at attracting pollinators to dismiss, just based on misinformation that's become viral. Introduced and Invasive are NOT synonyms. I have a redbud tree in my yard, which is native, yet is producing seedlings all over my and my neighbors' yards. Some say Butterfly Bush should not be planted because native larvae to not feed on them. Well, many species of butterflies feeding on your flowers lay eggs on trees and shrubs, which their larvae feed on. Monarchs are one of the few species for which both larvae and adults depend on the same plant. Diversity in both plant species and bloom period is what matters, and Butterfly Bush has a place in that strategy.
