Care:
Other than making sure that the shrub receives full sun, there is not much to pay attention to when planting it. If the shrub receives more shade than it should, this will delay bloom time.
Pruning: Pruning is optional; it can be done if you wish to keep your shrub on the small side. Since Blue Chip butterfly bush is naturally compact, there is even less reason to prune. But pruning does seem to promote better flowering.
Propagation:
Diseases:
Butterfly bushes are rarely bothered by serious pests and diseases. Spider mites and, in southern climates, nematodes may be a problem.
