Give them a spot in full sun with well-drained soil. Try them near a window or doorway, where you'll be able to smell their honey-scented blooms.
Grand Cascade Butterfly Bush is also well-suited for use as a specimen or grouping in a lawn planting bed. They'll add a charming look at the end of the season...when other flowering shrubs have bloomed and finished.
