Pugster Blue® Butterfly Bush (Buddleia x)

High hopes but mixed results for this plant. Planted 10 of these as specified in two rows. All in full sun, all receive identical watering. Half have done well, grown and seem healthy with occasional blooms, half have really struggled, with yellow and brown leaves and are haven’t grown at all. Blooms on the healthy ones are wonderfully fragrant and pretty, but why such inconsistency in hardiness. One on the left is approx 18” diameter, one on right same size as when planted 6 months ago

Some were damaged in transit with broken branches, etc. All are in the ground and hope they root in well before winter. Anxious to experience them next spring in my garden!

I cannot wait until next year when they bloom. I already had 3 before this and they have performed well. Butterflies and pollinators galore.

All plants arrived in good shape and transplanted well despite unexpected Pennsylvania heat.

These arrived in horrible shape. It will be a miracle if they survive.

There was literally zero root growth on the plant that I received. It did experience some damage in shipping after I cut off the dead or dying part of the plant. I am left with a literal twig that will probably take 4 years to reach any decent size. So think twice before you order this plant.

Plants were shipped in timely manner. Arrived alive and have been planted. Anxious to see them in bloom during next growing season.

Completely satisfied with order. Thank you..

The bushes arrived promptly, incredibly packaged, and healthy. So pleased with proven winners. Will probably be ordering again soon. Their prices beat several of the local Home stores.

Very good. I've trimmed the blooms and it still seems to want to grow new ones.

Still thriving!

One of my buddlea plants has died 3 days after planting in the ground. They arrived dry and broken. The others are fine and growing.

While pruning this summer, I noticed beautiful flowers and upon investigation, found my Pugster Blue growing ON TOP of the soil right where I'd plunked it after digging it out of the ground a couple of months before when redesigning my beds! I'd gotten sidetracked, left the exposed roots on top of the ground and it was producing nicely. This is one tough shrub! It was doing so well, I simply covered the exposed roots with compost and watched it live its best life the rest of this growing season.

Arrived in good shape and are doing well thanks again proven winners

All three plants arrived, but one was very wilted. I trimmed all three, planted, watered well and hopefully the third plant will recover. Otherwise happy with the other two plants.

I had previously purchased one pugster, and when it bloomed, it was so pretty. There were buds on it. when I got it. I thought I needed some more so I purchased four more which I planted in the ground the next day. Three are doing well. One of them appears to have, one whole section eaten up from some kind of caterpillar on it. I’m not sure if an egg was on it when I got it and it hatched. The other ones look healthy and fine. I’m hoping they grow up to look like the picture.

My plants came beautifully! Couldn’t be happier!

Perfect in every way. Healthy and happy. Got it planted the same day it arrived and gave it a little fertilizer. It's doing great

My original order looked bad- after I contacted PW- they were replaced and have looked great all season. Bloomed beautifully.

The four pugster butterfly bushes arrived in perfect condition. They were packed so that no damage was done during the shipping. They arrived in perfect condition.
Planting was done during a very hot spell, but because the plants were so hearty to begin with, it was easy to keep them alive. The little guys have thrived. Thank you for providing such healthy plants.

The freight company delivered these upside down! But thanks to good packaging and PW continuous fertilizer they are rebounding

Wonderful compact shrub. Intense colorful blooms. Much less work than the taller leggy cousin variety. My swallowtails love it!

These arrived in very good condition. I ordered 3 but only two came. Customer service was great. She explained what happened and the third one came soon after. They’ve been in the ground for a month now and are beautiful next to pink roses. I would buy again.

Plants arrived wilted and loosing leaves.
The Pugster Pink was the worst looking.
I have been nursing it along in a gallon container.
All the plants are looking better since repotting.
I would rather shop for Proven Winners in a garden center. For the same price of $20.00 each, I could see the health of the plants. Thank you for asking.

Exactly as advertised, arrived quickly and in excellent condition!!! Thank you~

plants were beautiful and healthy...so excited to plant them in my front garden (updating and refreshing the area)..so cexcited to see it grow....then tragedy...hail storms... my precious little plants are not doing so well now..hoping for a speedy recovery!.. I am confident with some tlc and no more hail they will recover..they were going strong, and I am sure it will just be a little setback...love the quality!!!

The plants were delivered within a week. They were very healthy and just as described. I can't wait for them to bloom.

Bought several plants all came in great shape
Will have to wait til spring for results on hydrangea
But great service will use again for sure
