        • Select a full-sun site with well-draining soil.

        • Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth.

        • Remove the plant from its pot, gently loosening roots if pot-bound.

        • Place the shrub in the hole so the crown is level with the soil surface.

        • Backfill with soil, firming gently, and water thoroughly.

        • Apply mulch to conserve moisture, keeping it a few inches away from the crown.

        • Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots.

      The Black Knight Butterfly Bush is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a bold, pollinator-friendly shrub that delivers months of color, fragrance, and wildlife activity.
