zPugster Pinker™ Dwarf Butterfly Bush

Pugster® Pinker is a compact butterfly bush with large, rich-pink flower clusters and a small, mounded habit. It blooms from early summer through frost, bringing a long display to sunny borders, containers, and other small-space plantings. ## Flowers and form The [Proven Winners cultivar profile](https://www.provenwinnerscolorchoice.com/product/pugster-pinker-butterfly-bush/) identifies the plant as Buddleia ‘SMNBDB’ PP33,565 and lists pink flowers, green foliage, zones 5–9, a 2-foot height, and a 2–3-foot spread. It reports bloom from early summer to frost and lists borders, containers, and low hedges among its uses. The live record’s dimensions and hardiness are consistent with this profile. ## Siting Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Water while the plant establishes and during prolonged dry periods. Pugster Pinker is not identified as a sterile, non-invasive selection by Proven Winners; avoid extrapolating sterility claims from other Pugster cultivars. ## Maintenance Prune in early spring, removing weak branches and reducing the shrub to maintain shape and encourage flowering on new wood. Deadheading is optional and not required for continued bloom.
