How to Use Perfecta Trifecta Butterfly Bush in the Landscape
These hardworking, gorgeous plants are perfect to use in large landscape garden borders. Or, try them as a fabulous "Thriller" in containers on the patio or on urban balconies. The container should be at least 12" in size. For best results in a larger container, purchase 3 or more plants and arrange them in a triangle formation.
Wherever you plant it, this fantastic colorway really opens up design possibilities. Pair with cool tones of Russian Sage or Coneflower or pop it against a wonderful contrasting yellow Black-Eyed Susan. Contrast the airy form against the sturdy stems of succulent Autumn Joy Sedum.
This is a fun plant to play around with! It's fast-growing, so expect it to give your garden border a full and lively look in no time. These Butterfly Bushes are must-haves for Cottage gardens, Pollinator borders, and hardy enough for Rock Gardens!
Bred to remain compact and tidy, you'll appreciate their trouble-free nature. If you can, place them near a window, so you can enjoy the butterfly show from inside your house, too. Perfecta Trifecta looks lovely among other flowering perennials as a mixed border!
#ProPlantTips for Care
This plant loves the sun! Plant it where it can soak in the sunshine. In addition to full sun, Butterfly Bush needs well-drained, medium-moisture soil to grow to its fullest potential. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to keep the roots happy!
In colder growing zones, this herbaceious perennial shrub will die back to the ground in winter. If they are in containers in a cold zone, plan to move the containers to an unheated, protected area, such as a garage or shed for winter.
Simply clip off any spent flower spires to encourage repeat blooming and to keep things tidy. Cut them back to ground level in early spring, and thrill at the sight of new spring growth. It will grow quickly back to its mature size in a single season.
This plant resists both deer and rabbits, but it will attract pollinators to your garden. Enjoy the wonderful sight, as butterflies come to sip nectar from this lovely food source.
