Buddleja Blue Chip - Butterfly Bush

Buddleia 'Blue Chip' is unlike other butterfly bushes, it is a dwarf variety that bears pretty spikes of blue-mauve flowers throughout the summer. Its compact size reaches 1m (3 to 4ft) in width and is suitable for sunny borders as well as south-facing terraces.

The Buddleia is a bush found along riversides, in rocky regions, and in copses in Asia, Africa, and America. It is appreciated for its panicles of small tubular flowers, often fragrant, which attract butterflies and earn them the nickname "butterfly bush". This plant grows well in a mass planting, preferably near a sunny wall. It blooms practically continuously from June until the first frost.
