Woolly Butterfly Bush
- Shipping Available
The Woolly Butterfly Bush is a lovely evergreen shrub that thrives beautifully in the southern regions where it is native. At about 5 feet tall and wide, it draws butterflies with its charming silver, hairy leaves and delightful orange, marble-sized blooms, which brighten your garden throughout the year. You'll notice the most vibrant display in spring and summer. This resilient shrub hails from the Chihuahuan Desert, making it well-suited to handle heat, cold, intense sunlight, and drought conditions without breaking a sweat.
With its densely branched form, the Woolly Butterfly Bush needs very little pruning, which is always a plus! Just remember to keep an eye on the soil—avoiding complete dryness is key. A little love in the form of fertilizing 2 to 3 times during the growing season with rose food will keep it happy. Since it’s used to the warmer Texas climate, be sure to protect it from freezing temperatures to ensure it flourishes beautifully.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
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.
