Why Plant Pugster® Amethyst Butterfly Bush?
If the small size doesn't have you loving this butterfly bush, the full-sized flowers certainly will! Pugster Amethyst Butterfly Bush, named after the adorable pug dogs for their small size, fits a lot into a small package. More winter hardy than other butterfly bushes, areas with harsher winters can still enjoy the large blooms of Amethyst. Light purple bloom clusters, highly fragrant, are attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies bringing more pollinators to your yard and other plants in the landscape. Fill your empty, sunny spots with Pugster Amethyst and watch as the pollinators visit your landscape from spring to summer.
Pugster Amethyst Butterfly Bush was developed to be sturdier and more cold hardy than the standard butterfly bush. It is smaller and fits nicely in a space-challenged landscape. The plant may be smaller, but the blooms are just as large and plentiful!
How to use Pugster® Amethyst Butterfly Bush in the landscape?
The plant might be smaller than the average butterfly bush, but the flowers are just as large! Pugster Amethyst produces a dense, fragrant purple panicle on sturdy stems. The plant will bloom prolifically from early summer to fall frosts, attracting butterflies, bees and other pollinators to your yard. What a perfect addition for that bare corner of your garden or in your city courtyard!

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
