Pugster Pink® Dwarf Butterfly Bush

The production record’s cultivar code, SMNBDPT, identifies Pugster Pink®. Monrovia markets it as Pugster Pink® Dwarf and lists the same code and U.S. patent PP28,836. Its [Monrovia profile](https://www.monrovia.com/pugster-pink-dwarf-butterfly-bush.html) describes fragrant taffy-pink panicles, a compact plant about 2 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, and continuous summer color into fall. ## Siting Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Monrovia lists USDA zones 5–9 and container, border, and small-space uses. The [Proven Winners release sheet](https://www.provenwinners.com/sites/provenwinners.com/files/images/press-room/2017_new_releases_shrubs.pdf) independently identifies SMNBDPT as Pugster Pink, with a 2-foot mature height, full sun, fragrant taffy-pink flowers, and pollinator attraction. ## Maintenance Water regularly during establishment, then water when the top 3 inches of soil are dry. The cultivar blooms on new wood; prune in late winter or early spring, and remove spent flowers only if a tidier appearance is wanted. Botanical references vary between Buddleia × and B. davidii for this selection, so the catalog’s existing hybrid designation is retained.
