#ProPlantTips for Care:
Buddleia Butterfly Bushes bloom best and have the strongest stems in full sun, so provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Plant in almost any kind of well-drained, enriched soil with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch as topdressing. Then in the early spring before you see new growth, prune back your entire bush. This plant is like a woody perennial in colder winters and will die back. Cut the stems down in late winter or early spring before it starts to grow and all fresh new growth will develop from the roots. Deadhead to keep new blooms returning all growing season. Butterfly Bushes are rarely damaged by deer unless truly desperate!
- Full Sun For The Most Blooms
- Moderate to Lower, Yet Consistent Soil Moisture
- Enriched, Very Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Deadhead Often For Rebloom
- Prune Back in Early Spring
- Deer Seldom Bother It
