Meet Pugster® Amethyst butterfly bush – the newest member of this unique series that offers full-sized flowers on a dwarf plant. This compact butterfly bush reaches just 2’/.6 m tall and wide but has the large, full flowers normally seen on a much larger plant. It blooms non-stop from early summer through frost with amethyst-toned flowers, each with a tiny yellow-orange eye in the center. Thanks to thick, sturdy stems, the Pugster® series offers vastly improved hardiness and winter survival over other types of dwarf butterfly bush.
Top reasons to grow Pugster Amethyst butterfly bush:

– Appealing light purple colored flowers, light and cheery elements in the landscape.

– It produces full-sized flowers on a compact, dwarf frame.
