Planting Instructions :

Butterfly bushes grows well in summer. In the cold place they die to the ground . but in hot regions, they are evergreen. In the warmer states, butterfly bushes often grow to 10 or 12 ft. high, and require pruning to keep them shapely. They're happy in almost any soil and prefer moist ground, but will also do well in dryer spots. They need plenty of sun, but will be fine with some shade in the warmer areas. All this tells you that this plant is a tough one, and should be easy to grow in your garden. A well-grown specimen can be a magnificent "fountain" of flowers, since the stems with heavy flower clusters tend to arch in all directions.

Planting steps :
Choose a warm place with well drained and acidic soil.
If weather cooperates begin planting as soon as possible. If not, keep butterfly bushes where they get some sun through a window, and keep them moist, not soggy.
As set out the potted butterfly bushes, dig to loosen the soil around and below the actual spot, and then set the rooted plant at the same level if was growing in the pot.
Plant butterfly bushes about 4-6' apart, depending on the variety.

When remove the plant from the pot, do not pull on the leaves or stems. Squeeze the pot a little and the roots and soil will slide out for you.
Water well after planting, and continue to water at least every two weeks, depending on rainfall.
