A relative to the Pugster Pink Butterfly bush, this adorable butterfly bush gets its name from none other than the Pug. It is cute, short, and stocky. If you are looking for a butterfly bush that produces full size flowers but fits in small spaces, then this is the bush for you. It produces full flowers during its long bloom season, providing you with the beauty of a full-size bush, but in a small space, thanks to its compact size.

The Pugster White has a green foliage that pairs well with its pure white blooms. This butterfly bush will provide you with a generous bloom season lasting summer through fall. This bush grows to a garden height of twenty-four inches with a spread of twenty-four to thirty-six inches. The blooms are fragrant and will attract pollinators of all sorts to your yard! Use this stunning butterfly bush as a border plant, for container planting, edging, ground cover, mass planting, for landscaping, or as a focal point.

Pugster White Butterfly Bush Care

Care for the Pugster Butterfly Bush is simple. It is important that the soil be well drained. Along with well-drained soil, this bush has a low water need and is adaptable to most soil types and those with varying PH levels. For optimal results be sure to plant your butterfly bush in full sun and ensure it receives six plus hours of direct sunlight per day. The Pugster White is susceptible to spider mites and should be checked regularly. Planting should take place in the fall if possible, but spring also works.

Pruning Pugster White Butterfly Bush is not necessary due to the compact size. If trimming is desired, it should be to shape only. Deadheading is also not needed.

Pugster White Butterfly Bush Spacing

Proper spacing is essential to ensure the health and longevity of the plant. When planting in proximity for edging purposes, mass planting, or ground cover, spacing for the Pugster White Butterfly Bush should be 24-36 inches, center on center.

Interesting Fact(s) - The name "Pugster" comes from the resemblance to a pug - short, stocky, and cute! There are five varieties we offer: Pugster Amethyst, Pugster Blue, Pugster Periwinkle, Pugster Pink, and Pugster White.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
