💡 Care Tip: Since these are unrooted cuttings, prepare them for propagation as soon as possible after arrival. Place the lower ends in a suitable moist propagation medium with good drainage, and keep them in a warm location with bright, indirect light while roots develop. Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging the medium. Once the cuttings develop healthy roots and new growth, gradually acclimate them to outdoor sunlight before transplanting. Butterfly Bush prefers full sun for the best flowering.
