FAQs for Pugster Blue® Butterfly Bush

Pugster Blue butterfly bushes thrive in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then tolerate some drought. Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy new growth and abundant blooms.

Butterfly bushes prefer full sun—at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily—to produce the most vibrant flowers and attract butterflies.

Yes, cut back Pugster Butterfly Bushes in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps maintain shape, removes dead wood, and encourages fresh, vigorous blooms.

For winterizing dwarf butterfly bushes, apply mulch around the base to protect roots from freezing. In colder zones, consider covering with burlap or moving container plants indoors or to a sheltered location.
