#ProPlantTips for Care

Growing best in full sun, so give her at least six hours of direct sunlight a day for those amazing carmine-red blooms! Plant Buddleias in well-drained soil, because they can't tolerate wet roots. If your soil stays soggy after rain, create a raised bed or plant in a container with plenty of drainage. We recommend that you supply a medium amount of water on a regular basis. This is especially important during the first season.

Apply a 3-4 inch deep layer of arborist mulch over the root system, pulling it back from the stems. In early spring, apply a fertilizer for flowering plants. Follow the directions on the label.

Buzz™ Ivory Butterfly Bush is adaptable to a variety of conditions and does well with pruning so you can shape it if you so desire. However, you'll rarely need to deadhead to keep the blooms returning until frost! Prune Butterfly Bush in late winter to the ground in cooler climates, and it will grow again from the crown in spring. But just trim back winter dieback in warmer climates.

• Sun Loving & Easy-Care
• Almost Any Well-Drained Soil Type
• Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
• Can Be Perennial In Cold Climates/Deciduous Shrub in Warm Winters
• Rarely Damaged by Deer or Rabbits
