(Butterfly Bush) Pugster Pico Punch™ brings bold, tropical-inspired color to any sunny space, offering vibrant impact in a petite package. This compact shrub grows just 1½–2 feet tall and wide, yet its dense flower spikes deliver intense shades of red-pink and magenta from summer through fall. Each bloom cluster is packed with color, creating a brilliant show that stands out beautifully in borders, containers, and small garden spaces.

Thriving in full sun, this butterfly bush performs best with at least six hours of direct light each day. It prefers well-drained soil and is a great choice for raised beds, slopes, or any area where water won’t sit. Hardy in zones 5–10, it offers dependable flowering in a wide range of climates.

The blooms are more than just eye-catching they are magnets for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Since Pugster Pico Punch™ flowers on new wood, a light pruning in early spring helps encourage strong growth and abundant blooms.

Once settled in, this shrub becomes drought tolerant and requires only minimal care. Its naturally tidy, compact form keeps maintenance low and makes it an ideal Proven Winners® ColorChoice® shrub for gardeners who want high-impact color with effortless upkeep.
