Buddleia Pugster Pinker®, commonly known as Butterfly Bush, is a dwarf, cold-hardy shrub featuring vivid pink flower spikes that bloom continuously from summer to frost. Despite its compact size—just 2 to 3 feet tall and wide—this variety produces full-sized blooms that are rich in color and fragrance. Its sturdy, thick stems improve winter survival, making it a reliable choice even in cooler climates. Perfect for pollinator gardens, small spaces, and containers, Pugster Pinker® adds bold color and butterfly appeal without taking up much room.

Sunny borders: Adds long-season color and form
Pollinator beds: Continuous blooms support a range of insects
Pollinator support: Nectar-rich flowers feed butterflies and hummingbirds
Deer-resistant: Rarely browsed by wildlife
