Where should I plant a butterfly bush?
Is the butterfly bush an annual or perennial? Should I plant the butterfly bush where I want to sit and watch butterflies and hummingbirds?

A butterfly bush is a lovely choice when considering flowers which attract butterflies. There are a few things to keep in mind however, when picking and planting a butterfly bush. The first being that a butterfly bush is indeed a perennial and can grow to be quite large. In fact, there are about 100 different varieties of 'Buddleia' which range in size and shape and can really overtake a yard if not manicured and maintained regularly.
Like butterflies, the butterfly bush loves the sun. So you'll want to plant yours in a bright, sunny spot where the butterflies can congregate and bask in the sunlight. They like soil which drains well, but suffer in drought conditions so be sure to water during the summer.
