Pugster Periwinkle Butterfly Bush 1 Live Plant – Buddleja ‘SMNBDO’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Pugster Periwinkle® Butterfly Bush (Buddleja ‘SMNBDO’) is a compact deciduous flowering shrub admired for its large, full clusters of soft periwinkle-purple flowers. Its colorful blooms provide the visual impact often associated with larger butterfly bushes while maintaining a naturally tidy, densely branched form.

Part of the Pugster® series, this cultivar features thick, sturdy stems that contribute to improved winter survival compared with many traditional dwarf butterfly bush varieties. Its abundant flowers typically begin appearing in early summer and may continue through fall under favorable growing conditions. The nectar-rich blossoms attract butterflies and other visiting pollinators.

Supplied as one live plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot, Pugster Periwinkle® Butterfly Bush prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Its compact growth habit and showy flowers make it suitable for ornamental borders, pollinator gardens, and outdoor containers where cultivation is permitted.
