Butterfly bushes

When I first got the box and opened it, they were tough but now they look great

Trifecta butterfly bush

Plant arrived in great condition and had a couple of blooms on it already. It's thriving even in this heatwave we are having in Ohio. It's blooming but I'm anticipating to see if it is a variated color bush like the ad said.

Dissatisfied with customer service

I ordered two bushes. The first one arrived with half the top soil spilled into the box. It looked small, about a foot and a half tall. But because it looked healthy I replaced the soil and planted it in a 20" pot. The second one arrived the next day and was in pretty good shape. This one was about 3 feet tall and I planted it in another 20" pot.

I understand that the content in the shipping can become disturbed, but I ordered 2 bushes expecting them to be of the same size and age. They obviously were not. Because of their guarantee I sent an email through their site (the same one requesting this review) requesting a replacement. This was over 2 weeks ago and I still haven't seen a reply to my email or the 3 follow-ups i sent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do butterfly bushes bloom?

  • Butterfly bushes typically bloom from early summer through the first frost, providing 4-5 months of continuous color. The Perfecta Trifecta blooms all summer long with fragrant flower spikes in three colors. Deadheading spent blooms encourages even more flowers throughout the season.

How to overwinter a butterfly bush?

  • Butterfly bushes are hardy perennials that die back to the ground in cold climates but return from their roots in spring. Cut stems to 6-12 inches after the first hard frost and apply 2-3 inches of mulch around the base. Shop reliable varieties like the Perfecta Trifecta at naturehills.com.

What is the plant's typical mature size?

  • The Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bush forms a compact, tidy shrub that stays well-behaved without becoming overgrown or shaggy. This tri-color variety maintains an airy yet dense form when the three plants grow together. Plan for adequate spacing since it won't spread aggressively like traditional butterfly bushes.

When do i prune my butterfly bush?

  • Prune butterfly bushes in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Cut back stems to 12-18 inches from the ground to maintain the compact, tidy form. This encourages vigorous new growth and abundant blooms throughout the summer season.

How often should I water my newly planted Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bush?

  • Water newly planted Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bush deeply 2-3 times per week for the first month. Once established, these hardy shrubs are quite drought tolerant and need watering only during extended dry periods. Check soil moisture by inserting your finger 2 inches down.

Is the Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bush deer resistant?

  • Butterfly bushes are generally deer resistant due to their aromatic foliage and slightly fuzzy leaves that deer typically avoid. The Perfecta Trifecta's fragrant soft foliage makes it an excellent choice for gardens where deer browsing is a concern.
