Notes
'Pugster Periwinkle' wand butterflybush (Buddleja 'Pugster Periwinkle') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Fragrant periwinkle blooms draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Rabbits tend to pass it by. This compact form is non-invasive.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Mexican hat, and Amsonia.
