This is a whole new look for a butterfly bush. Don’t be thrown off by its small frame—this perennial is sturdy and holds up its large blooms with strength all season long from the early summer all the way through the fall. Each bloom provides a full cluster of blue purple hued flowers with a distinct sweet honey fragrance—no wonder the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds love it. While pollinators adore it deer will leave it alone. The big fragrant flowers are stunning against the green foliage. Add this butterfly bush to your beds or border to fill your garden with life. They also work great in a container to brighten up your porch or deck.

Buddleia Pugster Blue will bloom all season long with no need for dead heading. Its strong and thick stems will ensure better winter survival than the typical butterfly bush.
