Pugster Blue® Butterfly Bush (Buddleja ‘Pugster Blue’) is a compact, deciduous flowering shrub admired for its vibrant true-blue flowers and distinctive yellow-orange centers. Its colorful flower clusters create an attractive display against green foliage, making it an excellent addition to sunny garden borders, pollinator gardens, and ornamental landscapes.
This variety produces abundant blooms from early summer through the first frost under favorable growing conditions. Each blue flower features a small yellow-orange eye, adding contrast and visual interest. Pugster Blue® is also known for its thick, sturdy stems, which contribute to improved winter survival compared with many traditional dwarf butterfly bush varieties.
Supplied as a live plant in a 2 gallon nursery pot, Pugster Blue® has a naturally compact, bushy growth habit. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soil and is suitable for mixed borders, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and outdoor container gardens.
