What Customers Are Saying

Customers report starkly mixed experiences with butterfly bush plants. Many praise healthy arrivals and strong growth after planting, noting butterflies attracted and vibrant blooms. However, a substantial group received damaged specimens with dried soil, fallen leaves, and broken stems. Several emphasize plants recover with patience and proper care. A notable concern is plants arriving smaller than expected, disappointing some despite eventual success. While most remain cautiously optimistic, some feel the risk outweighs the reward and avoid future online plant purchases.

Delivery Plant Damage

I thought I would lose the Miss Molly Butterfly Bush, especially. Several major branches arrived broken. But it's sprouting new growth, and appears will make it!! DELIVERY carelessness was definitely to blame! ALL of the boxes were delivered upside down, and left on the hot asphalt driveway. Such a mess!! And it dint help that delivery notifications were inadequate.

Butterfly bush.

Would Recommend

The plant came well boxed and was wet on arrival. The plant looked great when unboxed. Once I was able to plant it. It is doing great. Make sure you separate the roots before planting it and water it often.
