Buddleia davidii x 'Blue Chip Junior' (Dwarf)
Buddle-ia: after Adam Buddle, English botanist. Butterfly bush is fragrant, colorful, and attracts butterflies. Profuse Bloomer!
Bold, long-blooming flowers make this plant a garden favorite.
Blue Chip has a low-growing mounded habit, making it the perfect flowering ground-cover or container plant because it blooms continuously.
*Deer Resistant* Attracts: Butterflies & other beneficial pollinators
