Growing in a dense mound only 3 to 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide, the Monarch Prince Charming Butterfly Bush is ideal for use as an an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a colorful hedge in sunny landscape borders and garden beds. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for use as an accent in home foundation plantings. Its smaller size lends well for use in large pots, planters and other containers of 15 inches or more in diameter that can be situated on patios, decks and around other outdoor sitting and living spaces where the butterflies and hummingbirds feeding can be enjoyed from close up. A welcome and colorful addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, beneficial pollinator gardens, fragrance gardens, pink or red  theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid hedges or mass plantings; 8 feet or more apart for space between plants

Monarch Prince Charming Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow in moist but well-drained soils of average to low fertility and full sun to mostly sun. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sun per day during the growing season best flowering. As with so many other plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Deadheading of spent flowers isn’t absolutely necessary however will encourage production of new and more flowers.
