Wilson Bros Gardens Butterfly Bush

No, this cultivar is sterile and produces fewer than 2% viable seeds. It is approved for sale in all states because it will not spread or become invasive in your garden.

For the best flower production, plant it in a location that receives full sun, which is at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.

The Silver Frost is considered deer and rabbit resistant. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, these animals typically avoid this shrub due to its foliage.

Since this shrub reaches a mature width of 5 to 6 feet, you should space them about 5 feet apart on center if you want them to grow together into a continuous hedge.

It requires average water while getting established, but it becomes quite drought-tolerant once its root system is fully developed. Ensure the soil is moist but well-drained to keep the plant healthy.

Because it blooms on new growth, it is best to prune this shrub in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. You can cut it back significantly to maintain its rounded shape and encourage vigorous summer flowering.
