Just planted 5 Pudger Butterfly bushes in full sun. I am so thrilled to watch them grow and bloom. Thanks for all the great tips. Hopefully, they will thrive.
I just received 1 & LOVE IT.... i never knew hummingbird moths existed & they love butterfly bushes! BEAUTIFUL
Invaluable advice, especially not amending the soil! Here in PA a lot of plants seem to thrive in our plain ol’ clay.
I have two butterfly bushes that are almost in complete shade and they are thriving. The one almost died when it was in full sun. Moved it to full shade and it's been blooming and growing like crazy
I’m a new gardener and just bought one. I planted in a large container. It was discounted and not in the best condition when I got it, only had one bloom. I pruned dead limbs and put in full sun as directed on my back deck, which seemed to burn the one bloom. Smaller blooms were limp in 90 degree sun here in Atlanta, Ga in July. I moved to more shade and it looks healthier, more blooms starting to appear. I think I’m zone 7b.
@@Ret2PlayI’m in Georgia 8A. I’ll remember to put mine in some shade. Thx!
@@Ret2Play I'm in TX 8a, thank you for your advice! I just put a BB in a flower bed that gets blasted by the sun but at least it's not all day. I hope it does well.
@@Ret2Play I'm in a similar situation - I just got a butterfly bush May30, the blooms are all dead and I see a bit of dead stalks just above the soil. But there is plenty of life on all the stalks -- but at the end of the stalks leaves green and not crunchy, but just near the soil it does not look good. Its weird. I planted it in the ground today --- so hoping it will come back THIS YEAR. MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED 🤞🏾
SHOULD i prune it down as low as the soil? or deadhead? Or wait for some new growth or leave it alone this season? I know it will come back (hopefully😊) but can I do ANYTHING to get it to come back THIS year?
You’re so right about the sun. When I bought our PW Pugster we wanted it near us to watch the butterflies flutter around it. The flower spikes were at least 6in in length but the spot to observe only had maybe 3hrs of hot mid day sun. Well the flower spike were getting smaller & smaller to maybe 1in as time went on. Moved it to 6-7hrs of sun & wow…they came back fast to about 4-5in. We have clay soil so I amended but in another video it said not to do that even in clay soil. PW website said that as well. We have underground critters & fear they’ll ruin the plant. Decided to plant in a large 2ft across planter then wrap in the winter hoping it’ll survive. Love your videos. Learn so much
Came across this video, I love my butterfly bushes! Love your tea mug!☕️
Thank you Lauren for all your videos. God bless you and your baby.
Laura,thank you so much.. this was awesome information about one of my favorite plants/shrubs.. I have 3 butterfly bushes,and now I know how to keep them..
Thanks for the info! So I am planting my butterfly bush in the ground tomorrow!!!
I just love your videos. You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing so much knowledge.
Excellent, no-nonsense informative presentation. Thanks for making this video!
Gorgeous cup!!! Do tell!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Laura. Zone 8a here. Just picked up a butterfly bush and was planning on a spot that I now know wasn't sunny enough. Thanks for the tips. Great advice as always!
Thank you so much for this video. I have to go out now and change my bush location. Hope it gets better!
Love these kinds of vids where I learn about the plants!
Hesitantly, I followed your pruning advice. Wow am I glad I did! They have been beautiful all summer!
Hi Laura, brand new to your videos for 2 months now. Luv what you do. You are awesome amd we learn a lot from you. I think it is great that you do videos about individual plants. I was wondering when to trim my reblooming lilac to bush it out more. You answered my question. Thank you and keep up the all your great work and keep the individual plant and or shrubs videos coming.
I love our butterfly bush. We planted one this spring and I was surprised how soon it bloomed!
So glad I didn't prune mine in autumn - I just didn't get around to it and now I'm glad. It's leafed out (spring here in New Zealand) and I'll give it a trim. Thanks so much for this super useful (and timely) info!
Thank you. Zone 6a, planting a Windy Hill Butterfly Bush today. These are sterile so no need to worry about invasiveness.
Would you please do a video on just pruning butterfly bushes? I would feel more comfortable seeing you do this. I planted a butterfly/humming bird garden this year. Plants are looking happy. But I need more info on the upkeep. Thanks!
What to do for winter
.need answer
@@patricianutter5276 I have 2. I do nothing in the winter.
I trim to back to about 2 ft in the spring.
I don't know where you are, but in the Midwest US, I just let them die back every year & never prune them. They start over from the roots every year & never get big enough to need pruning.
Be sure to cut dead blooms
Off so it will continue blooming all season.
Great tips! Thankful:) ...and your cup is awesome!
Hi Laura, many thanks for the tip on not over watering the butterfly bush (buddlier as its called in England). I have been doing this as I thought with the full sun it needed it.
Wow you did a great job on that fence so amazing how you got it in the ground too. It’s going to be exciting to plant all those flower and see how exciting to see the eggs turn to Chrysalis then butterfly. I have a netted cage and cut the branches with the eggs on them and put them in the cage and watch them grow.
I recently planted Miss Molly...and came across this video today....very helpful!! I need to move my Miss Molly.
Focussing on a single popular plant(or group like lavender) could be very helpful for many as you are able to give specifics given your knowledge and experience. Thank you Laura. I enjoy and look forward to ALL your videos
I have 3 one year old bushes started from cuttings, all from the same parent. I planted one in all day sun, one in partial shade, and one in all day shade. The best performance for growth goes to the one in partial shade, the slowest growth was the full shade one. Blossom counts were nearly equal across all three. It appeared that the more I watered the more blossom response I received from all three. However, extreme drought is the common description used for our region (western Oregon) for the past 6 to 8 weeks, with much more expected.
So glad to see this video! We planted a "Miss Ruby" butterfly bush at the beginning of the season and it has done wonderfully but I was wondering about deadheading/pruning, so this is perfect!
Yes this and one other vid as Im getting ready to plant a Miss Molly in the spring. Odd that nursery vids show to plant above soil level and a more recent one planted below soil level. Some say add organic mulch or compost and others say dont ,, thats why I say if you are a seasoned gardner go with what you know. for your area.
One of My Buddleja ‘Lochinch’ gets 4 hours of midday sun and it does fine then goes into dappled shade for the rest of the day
They sound like the perfect candidate for large planters in their own micro climate. Fussy beautiful buggers.
Wow best info video! I’ve been searching hard, thanks! Wish I could see you prune them.
I am busy planting a two acre garden for Honeybees. It is a new place for me and have been landscaping for forty years. I really like your videos. Good to see varying points of view as to how and where things grow considering where you are. look forward to see how your landscape progresses. I am a hundred miles from Bellingrath Gardens and that place made me want a smaller version for myself. If you are not familiar with this place I would strongly suggest a visit. It is better than Callaway by a longshot.
I have two, one light purple and one white that popped up in the yard. So I moved them and they did great. It's not as much sun as I would like but I don't have a lot of areas with full sun. The flowers were just smaller but the butterflies and bees didn't mind! The hummingbirds liked them as well! And I just found another one which popped up in a planter.
Thanks Laura another informative video. I think I might have been over watering my new precious butterfly bush!
You should totally write a book that is filled with your knowledge & beautiful photos & you could even go personal on how you met Aaron & the garden center & such! Sorry had this idea this morning & am excited to share. I know, I for one would buy it, for your Instagram photos are so wonderful & your knowledge is so vast. I've never ever been more excited to garden than I have watching your videos. Just an idea. :) I know I would love to sit down & read it with a cup of coffee on a chilly autumn morn.
My butterfly bushes are planted in clay soil and have rocks on the top. I’m in CO. I have several volunteers that have chosen all different areas and light to grow... I love them!
I love your videos. They help me so much in my struggling garden. You answered my one question about planting in a pot, so, thank you.
Stay safe.
I just planted a butterfly bush 2 days ago & I mulched it. I will change that today. Thank you for all of the great tips, love the cup!
@Price... I think there will be a lot of un-mulching! Lol
I am in zone 9. I have lots of butterfly bushes. I did everything you said not to do.
They get blazing sun all day & I do water them 2x pr day. Now I am scared to water them.
I deadhead because when I do 2 new blooms replace the one I cut off.
They are doing just fine. I will be very careful not to over water. You may have saved their life.
Glad I clicked on this video.
Congratulations on getting a new baby!!!
Thanks so much! That information was so helpful.
Thank you for this video it helped me decide when to prune my bush.
I’m so happy I found this video! Lol. I did all of the wrong things for my butterfly garden and I need to redo everything. I was actually going to redo it during the winter in Florida 😅
You are glowing!!!
As usual Laura, great tips! Your forever viewer!!!👍🍃🌳🌿🌹🐞
Thanks! Answered a lot of questions!
Wow. You packed a lot of info in. Didn't know they were so fussy. Thanks.
K Z right?! I thought they were so tough.
? Right...try reading the transcript
Fast talker. She’s a master and energetic.
great info now I know why my for butterfly bushes over the years have died I plan to have better success now
Love this kind of video!!!! So helpful!!!!
Very helpful tips. Thanks for sharing 👍 Very much appreciated
Thank you so much for a good video info on butterfly bushes!! I know nothing about butterfly bushes!!
Hmmmmm I guess I’ll have to move mine in the spring, it did alright this summer, but not as good as I thought it would but that could be lack of sun!! Good to know!!
oh yes, most definitely helpful - thank you x
I was given s butterfly bush several years ago and was doing all the right things accidentally. Thank you for your information and verifying everything I was doing was right. It's just thriving.,👍
What exactly are you doing for it? ❤
Thanks your videos always saves the day
Great tips beloved 🌿💕
Whew! So helpful! Thanks.
I just found you 🤗 Great info!
You are so pretty and your hair is absolutely beautiful 💗
Thank you for all the info. Just planted my first butterfly bush mid-September. Hope it survives through the winter and brings me joy next year.
Anita Myszk just give it some protection from the elements,wind,rain and barefrost without snow is one of the worst plant killers,also the early spring sun,with wind frost and drought is another one to look out for..
@@ThorKipperberg lol Just saw you answered similarly here, but no info on what that protection is if we can't use mulch.
M A Walker ... protection like cloth as shown in vid. No extra moisture. No mulch. It’s a prissy bush that like Arizona weather dry and hot. Lol
@Anita ...zone matters. Think desert...plant raw. Maintain water. Like Arizona damp free. Dry. Like a prissy plant.
I just bought a butterfly bush October 18th in Northeast Ohio, zone 6. It's still warm but has had some 50° mornings. I have my hole dug and I almost went to the store and bought some in ground planting mix to amend the soil because when I got to a certain depth I got a lot of clay, but you said not to so I will save the money. I'll make sure I mix it up good with my garden claw. It made me laugh when you showed how to overwinter your potted plants and you wrapped them in burlap and put a pretty bow on them. Of course you would, you're so fancy. LOL 😆💗 I love your channel. Pease keep showing any messes or situations you run into because you have such a vast property and it's so gorgeous and fancy and it sometimes intimidates me but when you show weeds and you show the process that you have to go through to get it there, it gives me hope and it makes me feel like you deal with the same things that everyone else does and encourages me. If I see all your gorgeous finished gardening, it discourages me.
Excellent video, very concise!
Thank you ! Respect !
I planted mine Ina bed with hydrangeas last fall. Seems to be doing well. Maybe the hydrangeas take all the water. I also mulched around it since I do the whole bed. Thanks for all the great tips.
Thank you. We love butterfly bushes so much here in So. California, but ours are always attacked by the Buddleia Budworm and we've had trouble controlling them once they lodge themselves into the emerging blossoms.
I love your coffee mug!,
Omg Laura your so beautiful and so smart!
2 thumbs keep the videos up; love your channel!!!
so very helpful thank you
Thank you. Great tips.
Thankyou from Athens Greece.
You are smart
Thank you so much. You answered all of my questions. Now, I hope you have one on Astilbes. I bought a beautiful one that the nursery clearanced out. I'm usually pretty good at bringing their next to dead plants back, but I must be doing something wrong with this one.
@agd0012000... try channel Y Garden
These are great tips! Thanks
Omg after watching this I realized I broke every rule she mentioned how ever my butterfly bush absolutely loves what ever I did she is hudge at this point and when I planted her she was just a baby 😥 and I didn't even think she would live considering I have clay soil I live in SW Virginia in the blue ridge mountains I'm assuming because live deep in the woods my soil is highly nutritious from the natural mulch/ humus the soil has in it because alot of my plants surprisingly due well in clay.. Its amazing watching plants go from little fragile sprouts to healthy full adults.
Love this info thank you 🥰
I love butterfly bushes. My mum's boyfriend had two of them. He rarely Pruned them and they grew out of control.
@Lauren...I’m curious any butterfly 🦋 on it
So I planted two butterfly bushes in smart pots and they did really well. Now it's getting cold and winter is coming so I'm trying to decide what to do with them. I can put them in the garage where it gets cold but not as bad as outdoors.
I like that coffee cup!
Thank you for this!
Hero!!! Thank you for this!!
ty so much for shareing😊
Great info!
I've been thinking of planting a butterfly bush recently and this video helped me decide! Thanks Laura! P.S. These plants are gorgeous, how is that I've never seen one in your garden tours??
Thank you for yet another informative video. Unfortunaly it means I'll never be able to grow one, due to the lack of full sun.
And on a side note: I love your coffee mug, it's beautiful.
I planted one about 7 years ago and it's doing great in part sun of about only 4hours a day...it was about 10 ft high and 8 ft wide before I trimmed it back. .so you could still try..
@@southernwildlife6517 Thank you for that information. I will definitely give it a try 😊👍
I think I love you 😂 answers for all my questions 🌹❤️
I got one two years ago but then my parents decided to move it closer to the curve. Last summer there was a big heat wave in southern ca and all the leaves died. Then my dad trimmed it all in summer because it was ugly. It didn’t survive 😅. We just got a new one today for 3 bucks and super excited.
they are near impossible to kill here in western washington, and i have tried. Completely swore off them no matter how pretty they are. But, i just might give that Miss series a try :)
Would you consider having a worm bin? I'd love more organic gardening videos for veggies ect 😍
Thank you
I think I will get one next year. I have full sun out front
Thank you so much
Hi Laura, I love your videos , Congrats.
I have a question. Is the red shrimp considered a butterfly plant? Thank you!
Thank you for make this on .youtube I m from Idaho do you thing will be okay my butterfly over the winter I do love so much this flower
Do tip cares for herbs like rosemary and flowers for lavender please
A suggestion: do you mind including Latin names in the description or subtitles? For reference. Love you work.
What about planting in sandy areas. Thank u for this video now I know why mine all died and will be doing things differently 💕
Can you do a video on how to plant a butterfly garden?
What does a butterfly bush look like when you first plant it?
I have three butterfly bushes one in a large pot in my front yard. That was thriving and I just lost it this winter and I’m crushed and two in the ground that get hardly any blooms cause I have very clear like soil but they are second-story so I’m going to have to trim them down now. But they are absolutely beautiful and they bring tons of butterflies.
I had to restart 3 times because I kept staring at that beautiful mug! Thanks for the tips!
The tea cup isn't bad either
@@johndillon5488 lol touche
that mug tho!
They’re great for bees too….my Guara garden is buzzing
I moved into a house in NC with a butterfly bush out near the road. It was clear it had been neglected, very stringy like, and very few blooms now. I plan on cutting it down , about 3" from the ground at the end of winter. Should I feed it? Glad you mentioned the soil, because it's mostly clay type soil here, so I will leave that alone. Thanks!
