#ProPlantTips for Care:
Butterfly Bushes need full sun for the most blooms and the best growth. Anything less than 6 hours of sun a day will result in fewer blooms and leggier growth. The variegated leaves are even resistant to scorching. Provide a well-drained, enriched site with moderate moisture throughout the growing season, especially during the hot summers. Heat and drought-tolerant once established, it's recommended you provide 3-4 inches of arborist mulch to hold in moisture and insulate the roots. This layer of bark chips will help keep the leaves clean and prevent mud from splashing onto them.
Deadheading the old blooms keeps the plant fresh-looking and keeps those flowers coming! Each year in early spring, prune down to a foot or less and allow all new growth to produce incredible new growth and flowers. These woody shrubs can act like herbaceous Perennials in cold climates and die to the roots, but will grow quickly back to full size each year!
- Full Sun For The Most Blooms
- Well-Drained Soil
- Fast Growing & Cold Hardy
- Moderate Moisture & Fertility
- Deer Seldom Bother Them
- Prune In Early Spring
You're sure to be "delighted" with your Pink Delight Butterfly Bush! Order yours at Nature Hills Nursery today and each year you'll eagerly await its stupendous bloom every summer. In fact, only your yard's butterflies, bees and hummingbirds will value your Pink Delight as much as you will!
