Notes
'Pugster Pinker' wand butterflybush (Buddleja 'Pugster Pinker') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, containers, and cottage 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. It is a non-invasive compact form with fragrant pink blooms. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
