Choose Pugster Pink® Butterfly Bush for a compact flower-heavy shrub in a sunny garden bed; the tradeoff is that it should be cut back hard each spring and is not useful as a screen.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The flower color carries the plant, but the overall form is more garden accent than anchor shrub. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It regrows strongly after spring pruning and flowers on new wood. |
| Maintenance | B | Care is simple, but skipping the spring cutback usually gives a weaker-looking plant. |
| 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 fits places where larger butterfly bushes would crowd paths or perennials. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too small and too seasonal to block views or define a property line. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny foundation edges, mailbox beds, and pollinator plantings where customers want flowers without giving up much room.

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!
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.
