To plant the 'Chrysalis Purple' butterfly bush, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is: neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained.

Allow a width of 0.6 m (2 feet) to organize the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 60 to 80 cm (24 to 31 inches) helps to choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Keep access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts.

Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
