When looking for a reliable, large backyard bloomer, look no further than this giant Monarch Princess Pink Butterfly Bush. Truly unique in color, these giant, nearly eight inch blooms provide incredible fragrance and aesthetic to any garden. Beginning as deep green foliage at the base, this summer bloomer packs a punch as long bright pink blooms emerge. Not only is this bush garden eye candy, but the blooms can be used within bouquets to add beauty to any household or gathering.
This bush is very large in nature, so it’s not so versatile that it can be used within a container, but would look beautiful within landscapes, where there’s plenty of room to grow. This quickly growing butterfly bush blooms all season long. This perennial bloomer has many small flowers, and as such, attracts both butterflies and hummingbirds. In addition to butterflies and hummingbirds, this bush is a true friend to all pollinators, including bees.
Monarch Princess Pink Butterfly Bush Care
This perennial is hardy in zones five through ten. The Monarch Princess Pink Butterfly Bush prefers full sun for the best blooms. It’s generally low maintenance in nature, and grows very quickly. Moist, well drained soil would be the best environment to plant in. If a drought is observed, this bush would need supplemental watering to maintain its vitality.
This bush can be pruned down to between six and 12 inches in the late winter. Spent blooms can also be removed to encourage more extended blooming.
Monarch Princess Pink Butterfly Bush Spacing
This butterfly bush is quite large. It generally reaches about five to six feet tall, and it should be spaced about six to seven feet apart.
