To plant the 'Pink Cascade' butterfly bush, choose a suitable exposure: full sun. The recommended soil is neutral to slightly alkaline, well-drained. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and check that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the collar clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering soil richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work with.

Allow a width of 2 m (6.5 feet) to organize the placement of this plant in the garden. The indicated height of 2 to 2.5 m (7 to 8 feet) helps in choosing its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base to weed, check moisture, and remove damaged parts. Associate this variety with plants that have compatible light and water needs. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development. Roots in pots are more exposed to cold than those planted in the ground.
