Buddleia 'Pugster Blue'
Pugster Blue Butterfly Bush
Description
Meet Pugster Blue- it's a whole new look for butterfly bush. This compact plant reaches just 2' tall and wide but has the large, full flowers normally seen on a much larger plant. It blooms non-stop from early summer through frost with true-blue flowers, each with a tiny yellow-orange eye in the center. Thanks to thick, sturdy stems, the Pugster series offers vastly improved hardiness and winter survival over other types of dwarf butterfly bush.
