The Miss Pearl Butterfly Bush is a new, non-invasive butterfly bush that is smothered for months and months in cluster after cluster of beautiful white blooms. The slender green leaves create an attractive, airy look to this rounded bushy plant that grows just 4 or 5 feet tall and across. It is perfect for hot, dry spots in your garden, for planting in shrub beds, in planters, or for making a flowering hedge. It produces no seeds, so it cannot spread, and the flowers don’t even need trimming – they just fade away naturally. The rich honey scent of the blooms attracts butterflies like a magnet, to the amazement of children, and growing it helps conserve local insect species.
Plant the Miss Pearl Butterfly Bush in full sun, in well-drained soil that is not too rich or water-retaining. Dryness is important for good winter survival in colder zones. This plant grows well in hot, dry and sandy soils, once established. Water newly-planted bushes every few days at first, and then weekly, for the first couple of months. Pests and diseases are normally not an issue, and the only care is a simple trim in spring, after the new shoots appear, to remove any dead or weak branches, and to shorten back the remaining ones to a sturdy framework for the new growth.
