    Answer This Question

    A:  Fall is an excellent time to plant shrubs. Yes, it is perennial.

    by|Sep 22, 2021

      A:  Hello , thank you for asking. We are happy to help. Because butterfly bush may get a bit of winter damage in cold climates, it’s best to give them as long a time as possible to get established before they face the challenges of the cold, wet season. In USDA zones 5 and 6 especially, keep butterfly bush planting time to spring through mid-summer so the plants have ample opportunity to develop a good root system to sustain them through winter. We recommend planting in spring or summer! I hope this helps. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com. Kind Regards, Allie

        Q:Can it be pruned and does it have thorns?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Yes it can be pruned and no thorns.

        by|Mar 15, 2022

          A:  Hi jamngrnma, Thank you for asking. You'll want to prune Proven Winners Miss Molly Butterfly Bush in spring, after the new growth emerges. Do not prune until you see green buds on the stems. Make your cuts just above where big, healthy leaf buds have formed. It can take several weeks into spring for new growth to show up. Left unpruned, large butterfly bushes can become “second story” plants: their flowers form way up at the top so you can’t enjoy them unless you have a second story window. If you have any additional questions, please always feel free to reach us at helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com or (734) 654-7485. Happy Gardening! Nikki

            Answer This Question

            A:  Hi Raquel, Thank you for asking. We are always happy to help! Proven Winners Miss Molly Butterfly Bushes need perfect drainage. Their roots are sensitive to rotting, and if they spend any amount of time in wet soil, they can be set back or even die. They also require a period of dormancy, so they would perform as an annual in your zone. If you have any additional questions, please always feel free to reach us at helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com or (734) 654-7485. Kind Regards, Nikki

              Absolutely stunning! Long blooming season!
              These butterfly bushes are gorgeous! They were in bloom when I planted them, once acclimated they doubled in size and have bloomed non-stop since March (it's Oct). Butterflies & bumble bees have flocked to them! Just bought 4 more to complete my hedges.

                    Our butterfly bush has died and it hasn’t been that long that it was planted. It was nice and growing but now it’s dead.

                      Miss Molly butterfly bushes..Beautiful plants
                      I wanted the Miss Molly butterfly bushes because they fit in a smaller flower garden area like mine I ordered them because they gave me free shipping on 2 of them.. I think the price could have been less and still had free shipping compared to the nurseries in our area where I could buy the same bush for 18.95..each but they will not get them until late april and I wanted a head start on mine growing. I have attached a picture of mine after I unboxed and watered them and planted them the same day. They arrived quickly, were packed really well and had air vents..in the packing box.. they remained upright the entire journey to me. I met my ups driver early on his route since it is hot weather here already in March and got my plants out of the hot delivery truck. I try to order before Mid April any plants...because of the heat in any delivery truck or mail vehicle. The plants are beautiful and I can assure you that mine were just full of leaves and really good butterfly shrubs.. Sheri in Alabama zone 8

                        Among the fields lies a beautiful shrub
                        Although it is nearing the end of winter, this shrub arrived in a box within a box in a rather dormant state. The box had holes to allow the shrub to breathe. The attached video on this product page describes that, during the summer months, these shrubs typically look alive and well, but in the winter months you may see a shrub that looks like a bunch of sticks, but would grow to become a beautiful shrub in time. It looked at us with some green leaves, and we blessed it with water. We then proceeded to place it into the ground, and have given it plenty of sunlight. It's starting to warm up here, so I am definitely eager to watch this thing bloom! I don't feel I can properly review this plant without allowing it the summer to grow, but given how much care was taken to deliver the plant, and seeing the plant already thriving while in our care, truly leaves me feeling really good about this shrub growing fast and strong. I will definitely make an effort to update this review as necessary, but for now, the shrub will be handled with the best of care, given plenty of water and sun, and hopefully bloom into something truly beautiful!

                        Hi willwgp,
                        It is wonderful to hear from such an avid gardener that learns as much as possible about the plant they are choosing so that as much care can continue to be given at its new home as was given here at our greenhouse. We look forward to an update from you and watch for great things from Miss Molly!
                        Happy Gardening to you!

                        Wow!
                        It is the middle of winter so this plant is shipped dormant. What a nice strong plant I received! It was shipped very fast and the company even called ahead to make sure I understood it would be dormant but is healthy and will bloom into a beautiful plant. I have to say it certainly is healthy and was packaged very securely. It arrived in the middle of a snowstorm and it looks like it's going to be a gorgeous butterfly bush. I cannot wait to plant in my yard as soon as Spring is here!

                        I have purchased this plant on 3 other occasions at various locations and all died. Finally, this one is thriving!
