          OTHER: The tiny fragrant flowers of the Butterfly Bush cluster together in huge cone shaped bunches for a lovely display. They make an excellent cut flower and attract all of the good stuff - bees, butterflies including MONARCHS, and birds including HUMMINGBIRDS! I think they are very appropriately named because I can tell you there is no other flower in my yard I see more butterflies on.

          When to Plant

          • Plant shrubs in spring or fall before frost.

          How to Plant

          • Loosen the soil from 12 to 15 inches deep and mix in a 2- to 4-inch layer of compost.
          • Dig a hole twice the diameter of the plant container.
          • When placing the plant in the hole, the top of the rootball should be level with the soil surface. Gently backfill the hole around the rootball. Firm the soil.
          • Water thoroughly.

          Caring for Butterfly Bushes

          • Water freely when in growth and sparingly otherwise. In the summer, water if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week.
          • Avoid fertilizing butterfly bush; too much fertility promotes leaf growth over flower production.
          • Remove spent flower spikes to encourage new shoots and flower buds.  In addition, it is important to deadhead the flowers just as they start to wither so that this invasive plant doesn’t spread volunteer seeds. Deadheading of this invasive is now required in many states.
          • Each spring, apply a thin layer of compost, then 2 to 4 inches of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds.
          • In cold, Northern climates, spread mulch up to 6 inches deep around the trunk to nurture it through the winter.
          • Buddleias are very late to break dormancy, so don’t be in a hurry to assess winter damage.
          • The bush should bloom abundantly even in its first year. In warmer climates, the bushes will grow into trees and develop rugged trunks that peel; peeling is normal.
          • In the northern limit of their range, they behave as herbaceous perennials, dying back to the root in cold winters.
