Lo & Behold™ 'Blue Chip' Butterfly Bush

Lo & Behold™ Blue Chip butterfly bush is a lazy gardeners dream. If you grow butterfly bush, you know it can be labor intensive. In order to keep old-time butterfly bushes looking neat and blossoming, you need to remove spent flower heads. This new little hybrid butterfly bush, called Blue Chip, is an exception to the deadheading rule. It will clean itself and keep on throwing out new little blue flower heads. We call it little, because this dwarf buddleia grows just 2-3 feet tall. It is perennial in USDA Zones 5-9. Once established in the landscape, it will only need supplemental watering in very dry weather. In containers, which tend to dry out quickly, you will need to give it more water but not more attention.

THE BUTTERFLY BUSH IS A WEED

[hortusthird]

Not this one Bootlehistory! It is nearly seedless.

You're absolutely right!

I love this plant! I bought 2 and I am going to get a few more to put elsewhere in my landscaping. Its so easy to grow and blooms constantly.

At first I too was skeptical, but this one doesn't get huge and weedy looking like the other Buddleia varieties. Butterflies love it!

There's also a Buddleia Buzz Collection, but I can't find it locally. That is dwarf also with pink or white. But if I ever see, I'll try them too.

Seems to be in the UK.
