Miss Molly Butterfly Bush
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

Care Tips
Plant in full sun for best bloom. Cut back hard (to 12 inches) in late winter — buddleia blooms on new wood. Deadheading encourages continuous flowering. Thrives on neglect once established; avoid rich soil and heavy watering.
General Care Instructions
- Watering: Water deeply after planting. Continue regular watering for the first growing season.
- Mulching: Apply 2-4 inches of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.
- Pruning: Prune during dormant season to maintain shape and remove dead branches.
- Fertilizing: Apply balanced fertilizer in early spring for optimal growth.
