Butterfly bushes are perfect for attracting pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. They prefer full sun and well-drained soil but are relatively drought-tolerant once established. Be sure to deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering. This is something you want to do to ensure that you’re attracting as many butterflies as possible to your butterfly bush.

Whether you choose a dwarf variety for your smaller garden space or a larger one for a more dramatic impact, you’re sure to enjoy the beauty and pollinator-attracting power of the butterfly bush. With many kinds of butterfly bushes for sale, Jackson & Perkins has the perfect one for your garden!
