With its long, arching flower spikes that are packed with deep, purple-black blooms, this butterfly bush provides a striking visual display that is sure to impress.

In addition to its stunning flower spikes, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush has a long bloom time, providing a continuous source of nectar and pollen for pollinators throughout the growing season. This shrub is also easy to grow and care for, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels. With its attractive blooms, pollinator-friendly nature, and low-maintenance requirements, the Black Knight Butterfly Bush is a standout choice for any garden or landscape design.

Care Guide

  • Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, especially during hot and dry weather. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings
  • Maintenance: Remove dead or diseased wood in the spring. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms
  • Pruning: Pinch back new growth in early summer to encourage branching and a fuller plant. Cut back the entire plant to about 12 inches in late fall or early spring to promote vigorous new growth the following season
  • (Optional):Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, just before new growth begins
