    I trust Laura “garden answer”, this says he's an expert but how do we know that's true. He says build a dike around it to hold water in, she says don't over water, don't mulch, plant above ground. All I know is I planted mine let mother nature water it and mow it down with the rest of the yard in the spring no mulch no fertilizer and comes back great every year.

      Yes, and everything I’ve read about them says they don’t need or even like fertilizer either. They’re a plant that “thrives on neglect”. My grandmother has had one for several years, as long as I can remember, and she has never done a thing to it and it thrives every year. It’s huge, but it’s in a spot where it can get as big as it wants to so she never prunes it.

    Just watched “garden answer” s video and everything she said not to do he just said to do in this video so I’m confused ... he says they love mulch and water well she says do not use mulch and burry it above soil so water goes away

      I think bcz he’s British, he says mulch, but what it is to us is rich potting or top soil. I can say that they don’t like cypress mulch.
      And he did say leave a trough around it, which is like planting it a bit high, so it doesn’t sit in water. It does love full sun and lots of water, well drained.

    which fertilizer is this

    Also he did not tease the roots in the ball before planting, a common practice to encourage root growth and reduce circling roots. Lots of inconsistencies here.

      Probably in the wee hours of the morning when you are sleeping

    Do you plant butterfly bush in the sun ?

    • @keithsanders8766
      @keithsanders8766 2 роки тому

      total sun, they will do great but dont listen to this guy

  • @keithsanders8766
    @keithsanders8766 2 роки тому +2

    this guy is totally wrong, you want a well drained area so its not sitting in water and dont mulch. mulch retains water. I hope people don't listen to him, he's clueless. My bushes on side of the hill so the water does not stay around the bush. Take my advice dont listen to this guy

    Well, I guess anybody can have a channel on youtube, and like Wikipedia, just because it's in print does not make it fact. The moment that he said mulch, instead of compost, it became unwatchable.
