Butterfly Bush will attract an amazing array of butterflies &
hummingbirds to your garden. They begin blooming in early
July and will continue until frost if spent flowers are
removed & plants are watered & fertilized during the
season. Although the plants have woody stems, they
behave more like a perennial. Plants will die-back to near
ground level after cold winters so prune plants down to 12"
in early spring.
