How do you fertilize a butterfly bush?

Answer 1

Compost and organic mulches are ways to fertilize a butterfly bush. The flowering plant in question (Buddleia spp) generally does not respond well to fertilizers. It likes compost as an amendment, fertilizer or mulch in warm weather and compost or another organic mulch during the cold season.

Answer 2

Location in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun at 5- to 10-foot (1.52- to 3.05-meter) intervals for feeding in spring or fall, irrigating whenever soil lacks the consistency of a wrung-out sponge, pruning for damaged, dangerous, diseased branches and spent blooms and transplanting in fall or spring describe the way to take care of a butterfly bush. The flowering plant in question (Buddleia spp) favors outdoor plantings in United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) cold hardiness zones five through eight and indoor pots above and below those ranges. It likes compost -- as amendment, fertilizer and mulch -- and other organic mulches, irrigation every 10 days when rainfall is less than one inch (2.54 centimeters) and pruning down to where the base forks into stems in late winter months, such as February and March in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 3

It depends on the age of the bush. Wait until the leaves have fallen then lift the plant with as much soil and root as possible and move and soak and leave alone until Spring.
