  • 🌞 Choose the right spot

    • Plant in full sun – at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight each day.

    🌱 Soil preferences

    • Prefers well-drained soil; it does not like wet, soggy spots.
    • Tolerates poor, sandy, or rocky soils very well.

    💧 Watering

    • Water regularly after planting until established.
    • Once established, it’s quite drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering in long dry spells.

    🌿 Plant spacing

    • Space plants about 18–24 inches apart so they have room to grow and good air circulation.

    🐛 Expect slow starts

    • Butterfly Flower can be slow to get going the first year while it develops a strong root system.
    • Be patient—growth and blooms usually improve each year.

    ✂️ End-of-season care

    • Stems can be left standing over winter for wildlife interest.
    • Cut back old stems in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.

    🚫 Avoid moving it

    • This plant has a deep taproot and doesn’t like to be transplanted once established.
    • Pick your planting spot carefully and try to keep it there.

    🦋 Support the wildlife

    • Avoid using pesticides around Butterfly Flower, as they can harm visiting butterflies and beneficial insects.

    Follow these tips and your Butterfly Flower will reward you with years of bright color and busy pollinators in your garden. 🦋🌼

  • 🦋 Create a butterfly haven

    • Plant Butterfly Flower in groups to make a colorful landing zone for butterflies.
    • Combine with other pollinator favorites like coneflowers and bee balm for a buzzing, fluttering display.

    🌼 Brighten sunny borders

    • Tuck plants into the front or middle of sunny borders for pops of fiery orange.
    • Mix with purples, blues, and yellows for a vibrant, eye-catching color palette.

    🌾 Naturalized and meadow-style gardens

    • Use Butterfly Flower in wildflower meadows, prairie-style plantings, or along fence lines.
    • Pair with native grasses and other perennials for a relaxed, natural look.

    🏡 Curb appeal and front yard interest

    • Add near walkways, mailboxes, or front beds where the bright blooms and visiting butterflies can be easily enjoyed.
    • Great for adding personality and seasonal color to your home’s entrance.

    🌿 Wildlife-friendly garden design

    • Include Butterfly Flower in pollinator or habitat gardens to support butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects.
    • Combine with other native plants to create a layered, nature-friendly space.

    • Its bold color and visiting butterflies make it a natural focal point.

    🎨 Color and texture contrast
