How To Rescue My Azalea Bush And Butterfly Bush My Puppy Chewed Up?

Question

My puppy dug up my azalea bush and my butterfly bush destroying the roots. Is there anything I can do to get it to survive and produce more roots? Should I add root tone and replant these plants? should I bring them indoors to keep the cold from hurting them? Would they have a better chance? Both are small plants.

Answer 1

Your best bet is to just replant and feed them, protect them from the cold and hope for the best. Patience may be in order here, too. These articles may help:
