It's Easy to Plant your Black Knight Butterfly Bush

Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Black Knight Butterfly Bush. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Tree
Next, separate the roots of your Black Knight Butterfly Bush gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Black Knight Butterfly Bush again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Lovely bushes, came quick, healthy, planted 2 weeks ago, they have beautiful purple blooms already. We want 3 more... Thanks!

By: Scott Coya
I ordered two of these, one died and the other grew at a fantastic rate. Planted it in late April and it was about 3 ft high in some places by mid-July. Really beautiful and the butterflies practically swarmed it.

By: Deborah Roth
Our Butterfly Bush was packaged well and arrived safely. There were actually three bushes in that pot and I planted one in my 'secret garden,' one in the front yard and gave one to my neighbor. All three have responded well to their new environment and produced beautiful deep purple blooms within a very short time which I enjoyed tremendously. It seems every time I sat down and enjoyed the blooms, I saw at least one butterfly. You weren't kidding! Thank you so much for the wonderful addition to our home.
