(Butterfly Bush) I cannot say enough about the PUGSTER® series of Butterfly bushes! PUGSTER® Amethyst is a 5th addition to the family and is just as amazing as its siblings. The PUGSTER® butterfly bushes are a compact habit standing only 2 foot tall and wide. For our northern gardeners you will find that these are more hardy than some of the other Buddleias on the market. PUGSTER® Amethyst butterfly bush has extra large pinky/lilac colored blooms that are held up by the thick, dense stems can easily withstand the harsh northern winters. The large leaves are deep green in color and look nice even when the plant has not started to bloom.

Grown in full sun, PUGSTER® Amethyst butterfly bush will put on a stunning show in your garden or landscape.
