Butterfly bush

Beautiful first-year blooms!

Purchased 5 of the quart size Pugsters and am amazed by the first year growth and blooms! These went in the ground in April, and by mid-June, have established beautifully. Can’t wait to see how they grow! Zone 7b

Best looking butterfly bush

Pugster amethyst blooms from spring through fall. It's a beautiful bush that requires little maintenance and produces excellent flowers. We're building a new home, and this bush will be a mainstay in that landscape.
