Last year I bought a puple passion at a flea market for $1. It's blooming. I never had one before. Didn't know they could bloom. Not great flowers, but hey, cool that it has flowers.
I'll try to get a pic and post it. You won't believe how big this thing got in a year. I was impressed it lived at all, lol.

What about the burning bush. I guess they are green through spring and summer and a beautiful red in fall. Are they hearty and low maintenance? Can they be planted now or do I need to wait until spring or fall?

Idaho is having a huge problem with Mormon Crickets again this year. They are killing crops and causing all kinds of damage.

I just wanted to report back about my newspaper / mulch combo for weed control experiment. I put a good layer of newspaper and then covered it up with about an inch or two of mulch and I am happy to report that it has been over a month and I think I have plucked maybe a handful of weed out of that bed. I am going to continue to do this for all of my beds.
I didn't notice any smell other than the smell of the mulch, either. So, it's all good in my opinion.

How about the best time to transplant a large butterfly bush? I have one that has gotten too big for it's home and need to move it.

No need to move it...prune it. They handle annual pruning very well. In fact, the more you prune them, the happier they are. Prune them right down to about 3 inches above the ground each year. I am serious about that. They grown 5-6 feet a year. I have 4 of them in my yard and that's exactly how I prune them every spring. They are too woody and the roots are too big to transplant. If you like it where it is, then just prune it. In fact, if it is done blooming, go ahead and whack it back right now about 2/3rds. It won't hurt it at all. It will bloom again.
