General Care

Soil 

Good drainage is essential. The combination of wet soil and cold temperatures is particularly detrimental.

Pruning 

Prune only after new growth emerges in spring. Cut back to just above a set of large, healthy buds.

Uses 

With its dwarf habit and very large flowers, the Pugster® series of buddleia is ideal for perennial gardens, mixed borders, and containers. They also make a neat and showy edging.

Growing Tips 

Plant in full sun for best flowering. Deadheading not required for continuous bloom. In clay soils, plant a bit higher than ground level to divert moisture away from the center of the plant.
