Buddleia Lo & Behold ‘Blue Chip’
A Proven Winner® Plant Revolution!
There have been plants that have been introduced to the horticultural world over the past few years that have revolutionized a plant genus or family, completely changing how plant retailers and home landscapers use these plants forever. Flower Carpet® Roses revolutionized the rose industry by introducing a disease resistant, own root, hardy rose that blooms throughout the year with little care making rose growing easy and available to everyone. Hydrangea Endless Summer® ‘The Original’® introduced Hydrangea that bloomed on new wood opening up the ability to use Hydrangea in Zone 5 & Zone 4, northern areas that had never been able to grow flowering macrophylla type Hydrangea successfully in the past.
Now, Proven Winners® has a plant revolution of its own to change the world of Buddleia forever. Buddleia Lo & Behold ‘Blue Chip’ is the first true dwarf Buddleia available and, with a mature height of 2’ tall and spread of 3’, the landscape possibilities are endless! This dense, compact beauty is a Zone 5 hardy blooming machine with countless spikes of fragrant lavender blue flowers starting to color in early July and continuing unabated to frost. Better yet, unlike many Buddleia that go past bloom and leave prominent brown seed heads, ‘Blue Chip’ is self cleaning and produces little seed meaning it looks good constantly with its continual stream of new bloom covering the past ones.
‘Blue Chip’ is so compact that is can be easily used as a mass under planting, a groundcovering wave of color on a bank or as a woody bedding plant….try that with any other Buddleia!! It loves full sun but will easily tolerate a half day (6 hours) of sun and requires nothing more than water to get it established and your admiring stares as it fills your summer with color. Join the Buddleia revolution with Lo & Behold ‘Blue Chip’, a great new Proven Winners® plant that will change your landscape forever!
