Butterfly Bush Review

One of the plants that I grew to love while working with plants was the butterfly bush. The butterfly bush is a must have in anyone’s garden or landscaping. Here are a couple of reasons as to why the butterfly bush is so great.

To begin with, butterfly bushes bring a nice pop compared to other plants. It’s rich, vibrant purple flowers that bloom in the summer and fall bring a nice color variance. Unlike most plants that are only green, the butterfly bush demands attention with its purple flowers.

Another reason why butterfly bushes are amazing is because they attract non-other than butterflies! Their name is accurate because I’ve seen four butterflies at once hanging around a bush. You may even be lucky to see some humming birds getting nectar from the butterfly bush too.

Lastly, butterfly bushes are very easy to take care of. They prefer full sun, which is 6 or more hours of direct sunlight. When first planting them into the ground, make sure to water them regularly; every other day should be just fine. After they have been established into the ground after two weeks, you can let the natural rain water them or water them only twice a week for now on. Also, when planting them, make sure to give them 3 to 4 feet of room. Butterfly bushes are also perennial, so you don’t have to worry about re-planting them every year. Overall, the butterfly bush is a 10/10 plant the I would highly recommend in anyone’s garden. Hopefully this review of butterfly bush helps you get a better understanding as to why they’re so great.
