Yellowing Leaves of Butterfly Bush

Question

I have a new butterfly bush still in a pot, only about 10 inches tall. It is in the sun most of the day and has been growing very well. All of a sudden the leaves are starting to turn yellow. Can you tell me why this is happening?

Answer 1

You need to get it in the ground so the roots won't get too hot. I had that happen to me and it did great after I planted it. Water it in well but don't over water. I have seven butterfly bushes and they are my favorites. They do love the sun.
