Non-Stop Flowering

Sturdy spires of purple-blue fragrant flowers each dotted with a tiny orange eye bloom non-stop from early summer through frost. Buddleia Pugster® Blue is ideal for a patio container. The unusual Pugster® name is attributed to its resemblance to a pug – the shrubs in this series are short, stocky and cute! Butterflies and hummingbirds adore the nectar-rich blossoms. Buddleia Pugster® Blue requires no deadheading or pruning and blooms continuously and abundantly. Simply plant and enjoy! Proven Winners® selections are trialed and tested to be colorful, long blooming, carefree and easy to grow. Butterfly Bushes are quite drought tolerant once established in the landscape. The Pugster® Series Buddleia sport full-sized flowers on a smaller-scale plant. Their substantial stems increase winter survivability even in colder climates.
