I am moving the last weekend of October. My current apartment has an enclosed garden and I planted two butterfly bushes there 6 years ago when I moved in. Now that I am leaving and can't take them with me, I want to give one of them to my trainer and his wife for their house out of appreciation for all of his help.

Who can say if we will have a freeze before then, if I should dig this up before then will I kill it? Would it be safer to just give them a cutting? I have 10 black thumbs so I really need advice here - and I just know that we have some great gardeners here
