Memorable Pugster® series Butterfly Bushes from Proven Winners® ColorChoice® are smaller statured and large flowering scented beauties! People rave about these personable small shrubs! You'll look forward to the substantial blooms on these natural dwarfs each year.

The Pugster White® Butterfly Bush (Buddleia x 'SMNBDW') is a beautifully durable option for either in-ground growing or container culture. You'll find plenty of ways to enjoy their ornamental charms from mid-summer through fall.

Fresh white blooms of astounding size start pumping in the middle of the growing season...after many plants have gone and gone. The flower power doesn't quit, and you won't have to mess with deadheading, either. We're thrilled to grow these tiny shrubs because they are just plain cute! Even the nectar-rich blooms often display a fun, little lyrical twist at the end.

Sturdy Pugster White® Butterfly Bush spreads wider than tall. They feature stolid stems that stand up to cold winters! Count on these field-tested Proven Winners® to perform for you year after year! Even beginning gardeners have great results with these low-maintenance plants.

Grow several of them, so you have enough of their honey-scented blooms to bring for indoor cut flower arrangements. Add some of the gray-green foliage as a perfect foil in your vase.

Planting and Application:

Decorate the balcony of your chic loft with their snowy-white panicles kept in slate-gray pots. Or order dozens for a long, continuous neutral ribbon along your sunny borders. No matter how or where you place them, Pugster White® will create a magical experience for you and your guests.

Gain a fantastic visual interest, and support the nectar needs of butterflies, beneficial pollinators, and Hummingbirds at the same time. Even a single plant makes a big difference for Monarch butterflies as they gear up for their long yearly migration! These blooms are composed of many hundreds of nectar-rich flowers.

Plant them with a few of our Black-Eyed Susans near your garden gate for a mini Butterfly Garden! Include a Butterfly Weed and Swamp Milkweed nearby for a host plant for baby caterpillars.

The Pugster® series stays small enough to line a mature foundation planting. Expand it out a few feet, and breathe new life into the facade of your home!

If you are a workaholic, you should rely on white-flowering plants to set the stage for evening relaxation. They'll continue to gleam in low light, so kick your feet up and light a citronella candle when you get home. Plant in your Moon Garden for pristine scented white beauty with your other radiant white blossoms!

Add more rows for an effective mass planting. Keep the look crisp and clean with Pugster White®, or design a fun mix of colors from our extensive online catalog. Line your patio with a short row of these appealing small shrubs. Plant them two feet apart on center for a lush, solid screen, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Buddleia needs at least six hours of daylight for best flowering. They also require well-drained soil that doesn't stay soggy for long. When your plants are young, or if you'll keep them in containers, supply them with a regular schedule of supplemental water. Once their root systems are established in your landscape, they'll become waterwise. Provide a mulched bed and supplemental moisture for the best display.

Trim these plants back in early spring. In Zone 5 and cold winters, cut them to the ground because these shrubs act like herbaceous Perennials. Each year, the lavish white blooms and cool-toned foliage emerge from the roots. In all other Zones, these shrubs remain woody and can be trimmed or cut back to 12 inches tall.

  • Easy-Care In Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil - Highly Adaptable
  • Moderate Moisture - Low Once Established
  • Reblooms Without Deadheading & Prune In Early Spring
  • Drought Tolerant Once Established

Nature Hills takes our ecological impact seriously! That's why we use Plant Sentry™ to ensure we follow all federal and state regulations to the letter of the law.
