Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bus Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bush ๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒธ

This compact butterfly bush packs a lot of benefits into a smaller plant! It produces beautiful lilac scented blooms, attracts pollinators, has a long blooming season, and adds gorgeous color to the garden without taking up a ton of space.

If youโ€™re looking for a pollinator-friendly plant that works beautifully in a sun to part-sun garden, the Pugsterยฎ Butterfly Bush is definitely one to consider! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ‹

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿพ

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things Iโ€™ve ever experienced.

I created Sullyโ€™s Garden to keep his memory aliveโ€”to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’™

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. โค๏ธ

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winnersโ€™ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and Iโ€™m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. ๐Ÿ’—

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. โ˜€๏ธ

Oddly enough, I donโ€™t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this weekโ€”and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! ๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿ’—

For that reason alone, Iโ€™ll definitely be growing it again next year!
