Pugster Blue® (Buddleia x 'SMNBDBT') is a dwarf butterfly bush that delivers big impact in a small package. While the plant stays compact at just 2 feet tall and wide, it produces full-size, true-blue flower spikes with a sweet honey fragrance. The thick, sturdy stems improve winter survival, and the long bloom season brings constant color and pollinator activity. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, containers, or hot, dry spots in the garden. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant, Pugster Blue® is a low-maintenance way to add long-lasting color.
