Miss Molly Butterfly Bush Care

To care for your butterfly bush, planting in full sun is necessary with a minimum of 6 hours of sun per day. This is a heat and sun loving bush and will thrive in hot climates. It has average water needs and requires good drainage as its roots are sensitive to rot. Avoid planting this butterfly bush in the fall, instead plant in the spring to mid-summer for optimum results. Fertilize with a slow release fertilizer in the spring.

Pruning Mills Molly Butterfly bush should be done in early spring. Never cut back more than a third of the branch to ensure the plant does not get too much stress. Trim or cut off dead branches and leaves anytime throughout the year.

Miss Molly Butterfly Bush Spacing

Due to its mounded habit, the Miss Molly butterfly bush should be spaced, at minimum 60-72 inches, center on center. Proper spacing will ensure the health of the plant and prevent crowding.

Interesting Fact(s) - This plant is sometimes called "summer lilac" instead of a "butterfly bush."

    The Miss Molly and all my other plants arrived in excellent condition! They were packed very well to prevent injury while in route and have been growing very well once I planted them. I will definitely order from Plant Addicts again in the future!
