watering
Most hybrid butterfly bush (Buddleja (hybrid cvs.)) prefer well-draining soil and require regular watering. As a general guideline, water the plant when the top inch of soil is dry to touch. Water thoroughly until it runs out of the bottom of the pot and let it drain. During the hotter, drier months, water regularly and deeply twice a week. During cooler months, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In order to keep the soil evenly moist and prevent leaf scorch, consider adding a thin layer (2-3 inches) of organic mulch around the base of the plant.

pruning
Hybrid butterfly bush can be pruned anytime from spring to early summer. Prune these plants back hard, cutting them down at least 1-third of their current size. You can cut the plant back to a desired size and shape. Pruning also encourages new growth and a bushier plant. To maintain a strong form and best flowering performance, deadhead spent blooms throughout the flowering season.
