Is it too late to cut back butterfly bushes now, or should I wait until spring? I forgot to do it in the fall!

I’m a novice gardener. I planted some butterfly bushes last summer, which bloomed beautifully, but I just left them after the frost. I’ve been reading that I should have cut them down to the ground in the early winter. Is it too late to do it now? Should I wait until spring? Also have the same issue with some bee balm I planted. thanks!
