Tips for Butterfly Bushes

Butterfly bush won't bloom By Tee (Guest Post) I cut it back in the fall. It has grown and bushed out nicely but no blooms. I fertilized still no blooms. This is the second year???? Posted on 07/23/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse HELP!!! By fireeyes24 (Guest Post) I got a butterfly bush and planted it about a month ago. It gets full sun and the soil drains okay. However the inside portion of the bush is turning yellow and some of my larger leaves on the outside are starting to get yellow spots on them. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to save me bush?

Another possibility is that you have a male butterfly bush. I don't think they bloom. I think there has to be a female and male butterfly bush growing within a close proximity of each other so the bees can travel to and fro to pollinate them. I don't know for sure. Maybe your local nursery could answer you. Posted on 05/28/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Tips for Butterfly Bushes By tommycat (1) Contact My butterfly bush is not blooming. It has been a year and it has gotten taller but no blooms. What can I do to get it to bloom?

However, it does still bloom, profusly. I am going to cut it back, next spring. Again, Thanks for the tip, and for the picture of your beautiful Butterfly Bush.
