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

Pugster Periwinkle® Butterfly Bush (Buddleja ‘Pugster Periwinkle’) is a compact, deciduous flowering shrub admired for its large, full clusters of soft purple flowers. Despite its naturally dwarf growth habit, this variety produces impressive blooms typically associated with much larger butterfly bushes, creating an attractive display in sunny garden borders, pollinator gardens, and ornamental landscapes.

This variety flowers abundantly from early summer through the growing season under favorable conditions. Its soft periwinkle-purple blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators, while its dense branching creates a tidy, rounded appearance. Pugster Periwinkle® is also known for its thick, sturdy stems, which contribute to improved hardiness and winter survival compared with many traditional dwarf butterfly bush varieties.

Supplied as a live plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot, Pugster Periwinkle® performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it suitable for flowering borders, small garden spaces, and outdoor container plantings.
