    More Information

    Description White butterfly bushes like 'Miss Pearl' bring so much to the garden - they're classically beautiful, go with everything, and like other white-blooming plants, seem to shine out from the landscape on moonlit summer nights. Add in their almost magical ability to attract elegant night-flying moths and you have a plant that more than pulls its weight. As one of the award-winning "Miss" series of butterfly bush from Proven Winners, you can count on 'Miss Pearl' to bloom all summer with no need to trim or deadhead, and contribute an elegant, appealing habit that few other buddleia can match.

    How To Grow Soil: Butterfly bushes require very well-drained, even dry, soils. Do not amend or add anything to the soil at planting time, as this can cause serious drainage problems. In clay soil, plant butterfly bush so they are slightly above, rather than even with, the soil.
    Light: Full sun - at least six hours of bright sun each day is necessary for healthy plants and abundant blooms.
    Water: Low to average watering; soil can even be dry once established. Butterfly bush do not tolerate wet conditions for any period of time.
    Spacing: 3 to 4 feet
    Fertilizing: Little needed; if desired, apply a granular rose or garden fertilizer in early spring.
    Winterizing: In fall, plants can be trimmed lightly if desired, but save major pruning for spring. Do not fertilize in fall, and if mulching, do not apply heavily at the base of the plant.
    Maintenance & pruning: Butterfly bushes are best pruned in spring, once the new growth has begun to emerge. At that point, cut just above where big, healthy buds appear. Give butterfly bushes plenty of time to emerge in spring, especially in colder climates - this may take several weeks, even if other plants in your yard are already leafing out.

    Survived...........but

    Bought a Miss Pearl Butterfly Bush last summer. It survived a cold Wisconsin winter, didn't really start growing till after the fourth of July and it is less than 6 inches tall this year, and has very tiny flowers. I think the butterflys will need spectacles to find it. My annual Zinna's planted nearby are 100 times taller than Miss Pearl. Have decided from now on I will not plant anything that isn't zone 4 hardy, even though I live in zone 5A

    Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Butterfly bushes are notorious for emerging later than other plants in the garden, especially in colder climates. In regards to plant growth, so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, and fertilizing, all come into play. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!

    Quick & Good Shape

    Plant came quickly and was in good shape. However since planting it’s been struggling. Hopefully it makes it through the winter. Have ordered many other plants in the past from Great Garden Plants and have had great luck. The rest are thriving!

    Great plant

    Love my Miss Molly butterfly bush. It arrived healthy. I immediately planted it in a large pot on my deck. I is now triple in size and is blooming like crazy. Many thanks.

    Really Unhappy

    Plant arrived half dead. Trying my hardest to bring the few sticks left back to life. Fairly sure the plant won't make it.
