{"product_id":"pugster-sorbet-butterfly-bush","title":"Pugster Sorbet® Butterfly Bush","description":"\u003cp\u003ePugster Sorbet® Butterfly Bush (Buddleia x 'Pugster Sorbet') is a compact deciduous shrub with fragrant flower spikes that stack soft shades of purple and white, like scoops of sorbet. It grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, blooms from summer into fall, and is hardy in zones 5 through 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two-tone spikes set it apart from the solid colors in most butterfly bush plantings, and its tidy, rounded habit keeps it in scale with a mixed border. It is also a seedless selection, so you get classic butterfly bush flowers without the seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it at the front of a border, in groups, as a low hedge, or as a filler in a large container. Space plants 2 to 3 feet apart. It blooms on new wood, so the flowers keep coming on fresh growth all season, and bees and butterflies follow them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it full sun, at least six hours a day, and soil that drains well. Average or even poor soil is fine. Once established it needs little extra water, and deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. In zones 5 and colder, plant it in spring or early summer and skip fall pruning. Trim it lightly in spring as new growth starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Pugster Sorbet® to your cart for soft purple and white color from summer into fall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62529976172914,"sku":"24219","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/pugster-sorbet-butterfly-bush","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
