Lo & Behold® ‘Blue Chip Jr’ Butterfly Bush is smaller and less brittle than the original, with the same attractive silver-green leaves. Great for mass plantings, containers or mixed into perennial gardens. This charmer flowers from mid-summer to frost. Winner of a Silver Medal at Plantarium, 2015.
Cold, wet winters can be really hard on buddleia, so here are a few tips to help buddleia thrive in your garden:
-Make sure the soil is well-drained.
-Full sun, at least 6 hours.
-Plant early in the season. This gives the plants all summer and fall to establish. Fall planting can be chancy in northern regions.
-Wait until it leafs out in spring before pruning. In some years you may have to prune it back to the ground. After milder winters, maybe not so much. Avoid fall pruning.
