butterfly weed - no luck - bought a 3rd one!

12 years ago

I thought I planted the previous 2 in a good place. I think it needs good drainage and that's what I thought it had. But neither plant came back. Its is mid-July. I was told it comes up late, but not this late! I couldn't resist buying another one from Steins today. It was big and looked very healthy.

what else can I do to ensure this third one comes back next year. I was told to plant it in sand. Does that mean pure sand? Sand with peat, sand with aged manure?

Thanks for any help
