Plant your butterfly bush where it will receive full to partial sun. Dig a hole twice as deep as the container, then backfill and plant 1″-2″ above soil level. Water and add more soil if needed. Mulch 1-2″ deep around the plant, avoiding the area closest to the stem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnsure the area has well-draining soil. Once planted, your Butterfly Bush should be watered once or twice weekly. The soil must be moist at least 6 to 8 inches deep. Once watered, allow the soil to dry out before watering again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eButterfly Bushes rarely need fertilizer unless you are dealing with poor soil conditions. If that is the case, you can use a slow-release fertilizer for your plants.

Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrune in spring, after the new growth emerges. Remove weak branches in the middle and about 1\/2 to 2\/3 of the height and width. Make cuts just about 1\/4 of an inch above a bud. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time - just cut back to a set of leaves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":48860165570730,"sku":"21088","price":11.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/mvzqxxwp8f17_f796cead-58a1-4129-8fdd-d1667381f6f2.jpg?v=1784864794","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/southern-living-magenta-butterfly-towerstm-butterfly-bush-q6fua5","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
