Buddleia 'SMNBDL'
Choose Pugster® Amethyst if you want big butterfly-bush flowers in a compact spot; the tradeoff is that it behaves more like a cutback perennial than a woody backbone shrub.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The flower heads carry well in a small bed, but the plant does not contribute much during winter. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It pushes new growth quickly after spring pruning and flowers on that fresh growth. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on a hard spring cutback and occasional cleanup rather than shearing it like a hedge. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact habit makes it easier to place near walks, patios, and smaller foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | D | It is not the plant to use when you need privacy, mass, or winter coverage. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend treating this as a spring-cutback shrub: give it a warm, bright spot, avoid wet soil, and let the new growth carry the season's flowers.

Yes, that is one of the main reasons to plant it.
Yes, cut it back in spring because it blooms on new wood.
No, use it for flowers and pollinators, not screening.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
