Full sized flowers on a dwarf plant!

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.

Top three reasons to grow Pugster Blue® butterfly bush:

  • Appealing true-blue flowers add hard-to-find color to any type of garden or landscape.
  • It produces full-sized flowers on a compact, dwarf frame.
  • Thick, sturdy stems ensure better winter hardiness in zone 5 than other dwarf butterfly bush.
