Description
Buddleja ‘Blue Chip’ is a beautiful dwarf shrub with a neat and compact habit which makes it the perfect choice for smaller gardens, filling gaps in mixed borders or for displaying on the patio in a container. Unlike traditional cultivars, this variety maintains a small shape and size and won’t seed itself around the garden, ensuring it stays exactly where you want it! Throughout the summer months, ‘Blue Chip’ is smothered in dense clusters of blue flowers which are a magnet for bees and butterflies, making this a particularly suitable plant for wildlife or cottage gardens. Hardy and resilient, this reliable shrub is fuss-free and will thrive in most conditions, tolerating poor soil, dry or exposed sites just as well as more sheltered spots.Plant Butterfly bushes in garden borders in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade. Alternatively grow buddleja plants in patio containers using soil based compost such as John Innes No.3. Feed and water container-grown plants regularly. Buddleja planted directly into borders will require only occasional attention. In spring, prune Buddleja plants back to a permanent low framework of 3 or 4 buds from the base of the plant. Deadhead faded buddleja flowers to prolong the flowering season.Position: Full Sun/Partial ShadeHeight: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSpread: Up to 60cm when fully establishedSupplied as 1 x Buddleja ‘Blue Chip’ Plant in a 3 Litre Pot.Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
