Growing in a spreading mound 2 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, Pugster Amethyst Butterfly Bush is one of the best butterfly bush ever for use as a groundcover, border or container specimen. We suggest planting in a pot at least 14 inches in diameter. It serves well as an accent in larger, mixed container gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is an ideal selection for use as a low border along paths and walkways, in groupings or massed as a groundcover in landscape borders and on sunny slopes and embankments, or as an underplanting for trees that allow sunlight to shine beneath their canopies. A welcome addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs), and purple theme gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  2 feet apart for mass plantings or solid borders;  5’+ for space between plants.
