Butterfly Bush Pugster Pinker #2

Pugster Pink Butterfly Bush features showy panicles of fragrant pink flowers with orange eyes at the ends of the branches from mid summer to mid fall, which emerge from distinctive hot pink flower buds. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has dark green foliage throughout the season. The narrow leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color.

It is an open multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. It is a good choice for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
