Pugster Sorbet
Buddleia 'SMNBWXPP'
Pugster Sorbet™ butterfly bush’s blooms are so delightfully unique, you’ll have to take a second look. The large, multicolored blooms look just like scoops of a delicious frozen treat. While you may not be able to get a taste of these enticing blooms, butterflies and other pollinators will be more than happy to feed on them. The fragrant flowers are a clear purple towards the tip, while at the base, they are a lighter, brighter bluish-purple with a pronounced light orange eye. It’s no wonder this hardy little buddleia was a favorite in our trials with its unique blooms and showy silver foliage. Like the other buddleia in the Pugster series, Pugster Sorbet™ features very large, upward-pointing flowers on a dwarf habit.
