(Butterfly Bush) Meet Pugster Sorbet™ Butterfly Bush, a charming compact shrub that delivers big impact without dominating your garden space. Growing about 2-3 feet tall and wide, this dwarf variety is ideal for front borders, containers, or as a low hedge accent. Its signature blooms look like stacks of pastel sorbet gradients of soft purples fading into white adding a delicate, multi-toned elegance to the landscape.

Pugster Sorbet™ needs full sun , it prefers well-draining soil it doesn’t like to sit in soggy ground so adding a small raised bed or planting slightly above grade helps in heavier soils.

Hardy in zones 5–10, it brings dependable performance across many growing regions.

From early summer through fall, Pugster Sorbet™ produces abundant flower spikes, attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds to your garden. Because it blooms on new wood, you’ll want to prune in early spring to encourage fresh growth and vigorous flowering.

Once established, it’s quite drought tolerant, needing only occasional supplemental watering during dry spells. A light fertilizing in early spring is usually sufficient for healthy growth no heavy feeding necessary. Remove weak or dead wood in spring to keep its shape neat and stimulating new bloom. Part of the In Check series, Pugster Sorbet™ is a sterile Butterfly Bush option.

Compact, colorful, and pollinator-friendly, Pugster Sorbet™ Buddelia is perfect when you want continuous blooms and elegant charm in a small footprint. A great addition to the Proven Winners® Color Choice Shrub collection.
