Buddleia 'Butterfly Bush': Black Knight

This plant thrives in full sun (6+ hours) for optimal bloom growth. 

This plant is highly heat-tolerant, but needs consistent watering during its first year to establish. Once the plant is established, it is highly drought tolerant and requires deep, but infrequent watering. 

This shrub responds well to pruning in the spring, followed by vigorous growth and larger flower production. We suggest using Barebones Garden Scissors.

Your plant needs food too! We recommend Espoma Plant Tone.

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for this plant type and apply according to the label.
