Buddleia 'SMNBDO'
Choose Pugster Periwinkle® Butterfly Bush for a compact sunny spot where you want summer flowers and butterfly activity; the tradeoff is that it needs a hard spring cutback and offers little winter structure.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Large flower clusters on a compact plant give strong summer color, but it does not carry the same impact before new growth fills in. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It regrows quickly after spring pruning and blooms on new wood. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on cutting it back hard in spring and tidying spent flowers if you want a cleaner look. |
| 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 mounded habit fits front beds, walkway edges, and tight planting pockets. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too low and seasonal to work as privacy or boundary screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend treating this like a tough flowering perennial: cut it back in spring, give it a warm open spot, and do not count on it for winter shape.

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!
