I know Butterfly Bushes like sun but how much space do the need? How far out from a fence should it be planted ?

They get very large and wide so the more space the better.
Thank you. It was a Mother's Day present. I don't want to bother the neighbors with too close to our fence.
Butterfly bushes can get quiet large, but measure 3 feet from fence . I planted one and i used a round piece of land scape fabric around it I also put out mulch to keep weeds at bay. when i plant roses i put landscape fabric then mulch.
They can grow 10 ft. High an 8ft wide at maturity so pick a permanent spot. I have 7bushes an just love them. Good luck Hun an enjoy l.
