The Woolly Butterfly Bush is an evergreen shrub (in Southern zones of it's native range) that attracts butterflies and grows to about 5 feet high and wide. It has silver, hairy leaves and produces orange, marble-sized blossoms throughout the year, with the heaviest bloom occurring in spring and summer. This shrub is native to the Chihuahuan Desert and can tolerate heat, cold, intense sun, and drought.
Due to its densely branched form, the Woolly Butterfly Bush requires little to no pruning. However, it is important to avoid letting the soil completely dry out and to fertilize 2 to 3 times during the growing season with rose food. Since it is accustomed to a warmer part of Texas, it should be protected from freezing.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
