Butterfly bush

This is the first year I’ve had one of these. Love the butterflies it attracts. (Wonder how they know it’s there?) Anyway, I’m finding that I have to daily go out and snip off many dead blooms. Is this normal?
Thanks.

Yes, deadheading your Butterfly Bush can be a daily chore, but this helps bring more flowers to your plant through the summer!
The Butterflies will appreciate your efforts!
Butterflies are attracted to flowers that are red, yellow, orange, pink and purple.
