Pollination Info
Pollination information for Pugster Periwinkle Butterfly Bush (Buddleia x 'SMNBDO')
Butterfly bushes, including Pugster Periwinkle, are known for being attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. In fact, the name "butterfly bush" comes from the fact that these plants are so popular among butterflies!
Pugster Periwinkle is a hybrid variety of butterfly bush that does not produce viable seeds, meaning it does not reproduce by itself. It relies on pollinators to transfer pollen from the male parts (anthers) of one flower to the female part (stigma) of another flower. This process is called cross-pollination and is necessary for fruit and seed production in many plants.
If you want to encourage pollinators to visit your Pugster Periwinkle, you can plant other flowers that attract bees and butterflies nearby. Some good options include:
- Milkweed
- Salvia
- Liatris
- Phlox
Providing a diverse range of flowers and plants in your garden can help support a healthy and diverse pollinator population.
Overall, Pugster Periwinkle Butterfly Bush (Buddleia x 'SMNBDO') is a great plant for attracting pollinators to your garden and supporting a healthy ecosystem.
