#ProPlantTips for Care
Good news for your self proclaimed brown thumbed gardeners. Butterfly bushes are relatively easy to grow. Especially when you follow these simple instructions.
When picking out a planting site, look for somewhere in full sun with well drained soil. This will ensure you’re shrub is happy off the bat.
You’ll want to water well during the first year to help it get established. Then after that go ahead and cut back on the watering to a normal amount. Mulching around the bottom will help regulate temperatures and conserve water.
Buddleia is a woody shrub in warmer areas but act and are treated much more like perennials in colder climates. You’ll want to cut back all stems in late winter before the growing season starts.
This helps the plant develop new fresh growth from down low. Plus, if you deadhead the shrub throughout it’s blooming season, it’ll encourage the plant to produce new flowers and continue blooming.
The cherry on top is that Butterfly Magic is often left alone by deer and other wildlife. So your occasional wandering deer will more than likely leave this shrub be!
This unique plant is shipped with a grouping of three different colors all grown together, but all three colors may not persist if all three are not cut back each spring allowing all an equal start each spring.
With so many amazing qualities, you’ll want two or three of these shrubs for your garden! Order Butterfly Magic Butterfly Bushes to finish your various landscaping projects today!
