Notes

'Pugster White Dwarf' wand butterflybush (Buddleja 'Pugster White Dwarf') is a shrub for borders, pollinator gardens, 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. Its fragrant flowers draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds in early to late summer. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Cut it back to keep it tidy.

Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Clary sage, and Ironweed.
