Pugster Blue® is one of our up-and-coming top 5 selling fragrant butterfly bushes that we can't rave enough about! Low growing 2 feet tall by 2 feet wide, this little fellow is truly dazzling! Beautiful deep true-blue flowers with tiny yellow-orange eyes in the center cover the plant for the longest bloom period we have seen yet, plus it reblooms as well. It almost self-cleans, so you do not have to spend time deadheading.

During the fall, the foliage will turn a silvery green color, another awesome trait for this little butterfly bush that can! You get a full-sized flower on a dwarf plant. It's like getting 4 scoops of ice cream on a single cone!

Other key benefits to Pugster Blue® is it attracts so many beneficials, like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Pesky rabbits and deer do seem to avoid this selection, which is worth its weight in gold.

Use as a specimen, border, or hedge this butterfly bush will stop traffic! Combine with other plants like ornamental grasses or yellow Lemon Thread Cypress Pugster Blue® really pops when combined with these ornamental selections. Pugster Blue® also make a great container plant as well. Mix with other like vines or coleus it makes the perfect patio display.
