White Profusion Butterfly Bush

The White Profusion Butterfly Bush lives up to its name, with a profusion of huge flower spikes from early summer into fall. The blossoms are in fat cones up to 16 inches long, and they are pure, snow-white, with a rich honeyed fragrance that attracts hordes of butterflies and other pollinating insects. It grows rapidly into a rounded bush 6 to 8 feet tall and wide, perfect for a specimen, among dark-leaf evergreens, or behind early-flowering shrubs. Perfect for hot locations and poor soils.

• Huge spikes of snow-white flowers to 16 inches long
• A profusion of blooms from early summer to fall
• Rich honey fragrance attracts many butterflies and pollinators
• Grows well even in poor soils and urban gardens
• Dead-head to prevent seeding

Plant your White Profusion Butterfly Bush in full sun for the best results, and in well-drained soil, away from areas that are wet in winter. It grows well even in dry, sandy soils, once established, and it thrives just about anywhere, including in city gardens. It is free of pest and disease problems, and grows rapidly. Prune hard annually, as soon as new growth begins, removing all dead wood and cutting back stems to 2 or 3 healthy buds. Remove flower spikes as they go over, to stimulate more blooms and to prevent seeding.
