Hi,
I am new to this forum and have only just taken a look around. It looks like there is a lot of information.
I have a question about my Butterfly Bush. I live in SE NC within about two miles of the coast. My soil is sandy and it is hot an humid this time of year. I planted a butterfly bush last summer and it really came up looking great this
spring. I grew quit a bit and produced a lot of pretty
flowers.
I planted it with a mix of multch, mushroom compost, and native soil. This
spring I added some fertilizer. I have a
flower sprinkler system and it gets a drip water twice a day for about 20 minutes.
I trimmed the blossoms off the bush when they turned brown.
The leaves have started turning yellow and are falling off. The bush appears to be in distress. I am surprized after such a great showing this
spring.
Any ideas as to what I might try?
thanks,
Mark
