Planting & Care
1. Planting: Water your Li'l Grape™ Butterfly Bush before planting in a spot with Full Sun (at least six hours of sunlight a day.) Dig a hole twice the size of the pot your plant comes in.
Plant 1–2" above ground soil level, then backfill the hole with soil. Water to settle, then add more soil if needed.
Tip: Mulch 1–2” deep around the plant, avoiding the area closest to the stem to provide extra moisture retention.
2. Watering: When you first plant your Li'l Grape™ Butterfly Bush, water it thoroughly to help establish the roots. Keep the soil consistently moist for the first few weeks but not waterlogged.
Once established, the Li'l Grape™ Butterfly Bush is drought-tolerant. Water it deeply but less frequently, typically every 10-14 days. In extremely hot or dry periods, increase the watering frequency to once a week to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of each spring.
4. Pruning: Prune In early spring before the bush's first flush.
