Buddleia 'SMNBDBT'
Choose Pugster Blue® if you want a compact butterfly bush with full-size blue-violet flower spikes; the tradeoff is it behaves more like a cut-back shrub than a woody backbone plant in New England.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The flower spikes carry the show in summer, but the plant is not a major winter feature. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It regrows strongly after spring pruning and flowers on new wood. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on a hard spring cutback and some cleanup rather than treating it like a set-and-forget shrub. |
| 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 works well near walks, patios, and smaller mixed borders. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a flowering accent, not a plant for privacy or blocking views. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this for sunny beds where the customer wants summer bloom and accepts a spring cutback; we would not use it as the main structure in a foundation planting.
| Mature Height | 2 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 2-3 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 5a-9b |
| Spacing | 36-48 in |
| Sun | full sun |
| Moisture | dry to moist |
| Growth Habit | Mounded |
Yes, cut it back in spring once new growth starts.
Yes, the flower spikes are very attractive to adult butterflies.
No, use it as a flowering accent, not a hedge or screen.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
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!
