Description

White Profusion Butterfly Bush displays gorgeous, conical clusters of fragrant white blooms that cascade in abundance from midsummer into fall.

General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light per day for the finest blooming.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; amending heavier soils with organic matter improves drainage and overall vigor.
• Watering: Water regularly during the first season to establish strong roots; once mature, it tolerates occasional dry spells but benefits from consistent moisture in hot weather.
• Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture; keep mulch slightly away from stems.
• Pruning: Cut back in late winter or early spring to maintain a grand shape and encourage new, vigorous growth that will support plentiful summer blooms.

White Profusion Butterfly Bush infuses Michigan landscapes with a magnificent display of bright white blossoms, uplifting fragrance, and a refreshing sense of elegance, making it one of the finest options for adding late-season color.
