1 Comment To "Trouble With Butterfly Bush"
#1 Comment By thehag On 04/09/2011 @ 12:14 pm
My mother always taught me to severely prune butterfly bushes. I prune mainly in the spring as I like to leave the seeds for the birds (mainly bush tits). I do prune throughout the growing season if it gets to gangly. Spring pruning should be drastic. You can prune right down to stubs say a foot or so high where new growth is showing. I normally don’t do quite so much but I do prune at least to just a few feet high.
Hope this helps.
