Another
way of propagating butterfly bushes is by cuttings. Cut off
a branch near a healthy bud. The branch should then be planted
in fertile soil with direct sunlight and watered regularly
until the roots take hold. This will grow into a full sized
butterfly bush in a few years. Division is another good form
of propagating butterfly bushes. When a bush is large enough,
dig it up and divide it into two or more smaller bushes that
will be transplanted back into the soil.
Propagating
butterfly bushes will also happen naturally. Butterfly bushes
are often considered to be invasive, and will spread rampant
if given the chance. This natural propagation of butterfly
bushes works best in rural areas, where the plants will have
little human intervention.
