The blue-violet blooms on this plant flower continuously. During blooming season, no deadheading will be required to keep your Blue Chip Jr. looking its best. The improved butterfly bush only stands around two feet high and does well as fragrant groundcover or as a container plant. Because of its small stature, this plant can thrive even in the smallest spaces. You won't need to fuss over Blue Chip Jr. All the care that is required is a spring pruning. It can even thrive in drought conditions. The fact that this plant is hardy is great news because you'll want to be entertained by hummingbirds and butterflies all summer long. You won't have to worry about deer coming by for a snack, though. They tend to leave this little beauty alone. Since this version of Buddleia does not seed, it will not be regulated as an invasive species, so you won't have to worry about unwanted spreading. It has a long flowering period, and you'll enjoy the blooms from early summer until autumn's first frost. The Buddleia Lo & Behold Blue Chip Jr. grows well in planting zones 5-9.
This variety of Buddleia has been approved as a seedless butterfly bush cultivar and is considered sterile, producing less than two percent viable seeds, so it will not spread. It is approved for sale in all states without restriction. https://www.oregon.gov/ODA/programs/NurseryChristmasTree/Pages/ButterflyBush.aspx
