Can you tell me if this butterfly bush grows on old wood or will it grow a whole new bush if I prune it down? Photo is attached. Please advise me about what I should do with it at this point in time. Thank you.

If you go to the web site: homesandgardens.com and type in the search box which is top right{ the search box is a magnifying glass} should butterfly bushes be cut back in the fall? This is exactly what to do this season. Almost all butterfly bushes bloom on old wood. Thanks for your question.
