Description
Pugster Blue from Proven Winners introduces a new look for butterfly bushes. It is compact, reaching only 2 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide, but has large, full blooms typical of a larger plant. It has thick, sturdy stems for improved hardiness and winter survival, and its true-blue flowers bloom from early summer through frost. It is fragrant and drought tolerant, and attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Pugster Blue is deer and rabbit resistant. It needs full sun and well-drained soil for best performance. In cold climates, prune only in spring after the new growth appears.
