Pugster Periwinkle® is a dwarf type of butterfly bush (Buddleia x) notable for its sturdy stems and large, full-sized purple flowers. Dwarf Butterfly Bush is a shrub with a strong frame. It's named a Pugster because of the resemblance to a pug - short, stocky, and adorable.
The full-sized flowers are unusual on such a small plant. Each bloom is a full, dense cluster of soft purple blooms, emitting a honey-sweet fragrance and attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It blooms all summer without deadheading.
It grows to only 2 feet high and about 2 to 3 feet wide in a mounded, stocky shape. Pugster periwinkle butterfly bush is suitable for hardiness zone range 5 to 9. It's notable for having better winter hardiness than most other dwarf varieties, mostly because of its thick stems.
Pugster Periwinkle Butterfly Bush is relatively easy to care for. It prefers the full sun to partial shade and is very adaptable to poor soil. Though, its ideal soil conditions are dry, well-drained soils.
Once established, it's drought tolerant and heat tolerant, but watering should be regular in the first growing season, especially in extreme summer heat.
These Proven Winners shrubs offer it all: beauty and hardness and space-saving. Order your dwarf butterfly bush today from Shrubhub to start enjoying all it can offer as soon as possible.
