When to Water Butterfly?

Water a butterfly bush in the morning for best results, whether in summer or winter. This helps keep the plant roots cool and moistened during the hottest part of the day but gives the soil time to drain a bit before a cool evening.

How often do you water butterfly plants?

Give butterfly bush about an inch of water a week while they're actively growing, if rain isn't sufficient, but don't worry if you occasionally forget to irrigate. In the first year after planting, these bushes need regular water to develop strong roots.

How do I know if my butterfly bush needs water?

Wilting leaves usually mean it needs water, but if the soil is soggy, especially late in the day, wait until morning.
