It blooms non-stop from early summer through frost with very rich pink flowers, each with a tiny bright orange eye in the center.

Growing Tips for Buddleia x 'Pugster Pinker®'
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.
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.
Good drainage is essential. The combination of wet soil and cold temperatures is particularly detrimental.
