Description
Always wanted a butterfly bush but haven’t had the room to grow one? Meet ‘Pugster Pinker’, one of the lowest and smallest growing butterfly bushes topping out at merely 2 feet tall and maybe a little wider, this compact cutie produces abundant, large, densely-packed spikes of honey-scented bright pink flowers that keep coming and coming all summer through fall, The butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you for planting this one!
Thanks to thick, sturdy stems, all the varieties in the Pugster® series offers vastly improved hardiness and winter survival over other types of dwarf butterfly bush. Super heat tolerant too!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a spreading mound 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, ‘Pugster Pinker’ is one of the best butterfly bush ever for use as a groundcover, border or container specimen. We suggest planting in a pot at least 14 inches in diameter. It serves well as an accent in larger, mixed container gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is an ideal selection for use as a low border along paths and walkways, in groupings or massed as a groundcover in landscape borders and on sunny slopes and embankments, or as an underplanting for trees that allow sunlight to shine beneath their canopies. A welcome addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs), and pink theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 2′ for mass plantings or solid borders;Â 5’+ for space between plants.

Growing Preferences
Pugster Pinker Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow. It thrives in full to mostly sun and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil when young however is quite drought tolerant when established. At least 6 hours of direct sun per day is suggested for best flowering. As with so many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. No deadheading is required though you can remove spent flowers if you want.Â
