Butterfly Bushes
Butterfly Bush Culture: This plant is one of the best summer bloomers and re-bloomers in any sunny landscape. They are very vigorous; all have varying degrees of fragrance, and will attract a plethora of butterflies and hummingbirds all season. They need full sun in order to thrive with a minimum level of 8 hours of direct sun each day. New plantings usually need watered once or twice daily yet establishment is quick as they are aggressive rooters. Any soil will do as long as long as it is well drained. Heavy wet soils usually cause their demise over winter. They are heavy feeders and appreciate a balanced fertilizer throughout the growing season, which should cease by the end of August to allow recent growth to harden off for winter. Each bloom will only last about 5-7 days. Spent blooms need to be removed in order to encourage new growth and new blooms. Some newer varieties are sterile so blooming is not affected by deadheading, yet it still enhances the appearance of the plant. We recommend cutting each plant down to roughly 6 inches above the ground in early spring before growth resumes. If the plant has not naturally died back for winter and you preferred to have more height, then pruning may not be necessary. With this method you will have a larger shrub with a greater quantity of blooms, although the bloom size will be smaller than ones pruned to the ground.
