Default My intro and some questions

Hello all,
I am new to this group, and a novice at gardening.
I live on Long Island, NY (not sure of what "zone" that is).
Anyway, my question is about the Butterfly Bush(buddleia). I bought a
small one at my local nursery as a colorful addition to my back yard.
The guy at the nursery wasn't too helpful about how to plant it, so I
sort of winged it.
Anyway, it's in the ground now, in a very sunny spot.. My questions
are, does it need watering regularly? Am I supposed to keep the soil
around it moist? What kind of routine care does it need?
Sorry if these are silly questions, but am very new to this. Any tips
would be greatly appreciated.

Darren
