Questions & Answers
is it organic and safe for butterflies?
Asked by Tired July 25, 2020Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. We mainly use bio controls to combat against pests on our plants. We do use pesticides occasionally to ensure you receive a healthy plant with not bad bugs on it. The pesticides we do use are Neonicotinoid free and will not cause harm to any pollinators or humans that touch it. We time the usage of pesticides to ensure that it is not in your plants system at the point of ship. We only use pesticides that have less than a 24-hour active period. All chemicals dissipate long before it is put in a box and shipped to you. I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 734-654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com. Best Regards, Tabatha

What is the best time of year to plant these?
Asked by Novicegardener September 4, 2018I planted mine in spring. It was tiny and grew to 3 feet tall by fall. It had many blooms - it was the highlight of my garden. It died back to the ground over winter (it does that in colder climates) and then it reappeared later in spring.
What is the planting zone for zip code 17013
Asked by Cookie September 2, 20186b
Can it take sun from 9 am to 5 pm
Asked by CLC June 22, 2018Yes, butterfly bushes love sun. In fact they will only bloom in sun - the more sun the better.
Will the flowers come back every year
Asked by Nikki May 31, 2018This bush is fantastic. No need to cut it down, especially in the fall. Cutting stimulates the plant to grow and recover from the injury, this is NOT the time for grooming. If you want to shape it, do it in the spring or summer. I purchase two of these from the store and they are fine. You know after you plant it you have to make sure to water it once a week for at least three weeks while the roots get settled in AND then additional water if you have not received a measurable amount of rainfall.
Can it thrive on Zone 8A which is my area?
Asked by asere May 4, 2018Yes, it's rated for hardiness zones 5a through 9b.
Can it withstand cold temperature?
Asked by asere May 4, 2018This butterfly bush is hardy to zone 5. In colder climates, such as zone 5 it will die back to the ground over the winter and reappear the following spring. Each spring (end of April) I cut mine down to 12 inches and it regrows. I was advised to do that by the garden center - it stimulates a flush of new growth as it blooms on new wood.
Have these been treated or genetically altered with neonicortinoids or in any other way?
Asked by ButterflySun March 17, 2018No, these plants have not been altered this way.
Does this butterfly bush provide food for the Catapillars like the milkweed does?
Asked by RickE September 17, 2017Don't know-They arrived DEAD!
Customer Reviews
I'm sorry to hear your plants were not properly labeled. They probably looked a little rough from the shipping process, but they should be thriving now that you have planted them! Sounds like they are in good hands with you and off to a good start!
If you have any questions about your plants, give us a call at (734) 654-7485.
Thanks,
Hailee
