In 2010 Richard announced he would be retiring and played his final concert in 2014. He kept a busy schedule but was increasingly hampered by health problems. In 1984 he staged a comeback, releasing an autobiography and returning to the public eye.

He continued to have a presence on TV and in film but he retired from music again in 1976.
In the 70’s, Richard continued to tour and release music but he was mostly relegated to the “oldies” circuit. Hendrix was obviously influenced by his former boss, taking cues on showmanship from Richard. Richard also gave a young Jimi Hendrix a gig as lead guitarist before Jimi embarked on his own solo career. Paul McCartney's vocal style was hugely influenced by Richard. He returned to playing Rock and Roll just a few years later, touring in Europe where his opening bands included the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Richard’s struggle with reconciling his musical identity as well as his sexual identity was a constant theme in his career. In 1958, Richard decided that he was no longer going to record secular music and he returned to Gospel music. He had several other hits during this period including “Long Tall Sally”, “Rip it Up”, and “Good Golly Miss Molly”. Recorded in New Orleans at Cosimo Matassa’s J and M Studio, “Tutti Frutti” established Richard as an original voice and one of Rock and Roll’s wildest performers. Another contract followed with Houston’s Peacock Records and Richard finally had his first hit on Specialty Records with “Tutti Frutti” in 1955. Richard was signed to his first recording contract with RCA in 1950 but the recordings failed to attract any attention outside of Georgia. Influenced by a flamboyant entertainer named Esquerita, Richard’s showmanship, powerful voice and pounding piano style earned him the nickname the “Architect of Rock and Roll.” Inspired by Gospel performers including Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Richard went from singing hymns to performing in minstrel shows and traveling carnivals. Richard Wayne Penniman, known the world over as Little Richard, was born in Macon, Georgia in 1932. Regardless, I heartily recommend reading the Butterfly Bush Proven Winners Ultimate Care Guide, which is easy to find online.Tutti Frutti, Good Golly Miss Molly, Rip It Up, Long Tall Sally Biography Miss Molly will keep you more in the shrub business. It had a gnarly, rustic look and was growing next to an old farmhouse. I remember well the first buddleia I saw as a young ornamental horticulturist with Mississippi State University. Besides butterflies, you will be hosting bees and hummingbirds too, making it a winner in my book! It is tough in heat and humidity, as well as those temporary occasions of drought and dry soil. Besides being the most beautiful plant in the garden from summer through fall, it is resistant to both deer and rabbits. Miss Molly has some other benefits that will cause rejoicing. Although I would say I am lacking in sunlight, I do have just enough to keep the butterfly bush blooming. This is where The Garden Guy finds most of his challenges. Wet soggy winter soil will spell doom for the butterfly bush, and a host of other landscape plants, too. Like other buddleia, Miss Molly can grow in a variety of soils and soil pH. In the very front of the bed I have Truffula Pink gomphrena and Rockin Playin the Blues salvia. I also added tropical touches from giant alocasia elephant ears and a Red Abyssinian banana. I have planted mine in a bed with the dwarf Pugster butterfly bushes, Limelight Prime hydrangeas and Fire Light Tidbit hydrangeas. Miss Molly will offer everything you have been looking for - nice shape and size, and rare colorful blooms packed with butterflies.
The point is you can plant Miss Molly anywhere from zones 5a to 9a without fear of unwanted spread. I am presuming it is the fear of a widespread promotion of butterfly bushes there that has made it mandatory that Miss Molly be sold under the name “Summer Lilac.” This is perfectly fine with me, as Miss Molly has the fragrance of a rare perfume. Miss Molly, however, is NOT invasive and has been approved for sale in Oregon and Washington. A few other states have such declarations. In the Pacific Northwest, it has been determined that the butterfly bush is invasive.
I never plant two of anything, but I digress.
At The Garden Guy’s house, it is a most beautiful, festive red, and in a strange occurrence, I have two of them. The flowers are various shades of red depending on your zone. Miss Molly reaches 4 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide, perhaps a little taller in the South. This was a statement of awe about one of the best butterfly bushes in the market and not my incredible photo of a pipevine swallowtail feeding on it. That’s just the response one of my Facebook followers wrote upon seeing my post.
