    Replanting will help it to grow straighter, but there will probably always be a bit of a slant.

    My mother always taught me to severely prune butterfly bushes. I prune mainly in the spring as I like to leave the seeds for the birds (mainly bush tits). I do prune throughout the growing season if it gets to gangly. Spring pruning should be drastic. You can prune right down to stubs say a foot or so high where new growth is showing. I normally don't do quite so much but I do prune at least to just a few feet high.

    Hope this helps.

    While they should be pre-chilled, the freezer is not the ideal place for that, as this will actually kill off the seeds. Place them instead in the refrigerator or another cool location.
