No. The butterfly bush flowers, but only in the right conditions (obviously). It also depends on the type of bush.
The plant you might be referring to is the Cleome, also known as spider flower. It features tall, upright growth with purple blooms that resemble those of a butterfly bush. Cleome does not have the same arching habit as butterfly bush but can offer a similar pop of color and height in the garden.
Summer lilac is another name for butterfly bush. The flowering plant in question (Buddleia spp) makes some gardeners think of lilac in terms of bloom colors, fragrances and shapes. Butterfly bush prevails as the more common, popular and widespread name because of attracting butterflies.
The Butterfly bush is Buddleia.
No. No.

Yes, a butterfly bush can be an evergreen. The flowering plant in question (Buddleia spp) also may be a deciduous woody plant. Whether foliage drops every year or every three to five years will depend upon the specific one of 100-plus species that claims the specimen's membership in the world's temperate and tropical regions.
Never.
