Get ready for a fundamental change in the Buddleia world!! In the past, Buddleia meant big, woody plants that took over your garden in the summer, left lots of ugly seed heads and looked like ugly naked stumps in the winter. It’s a good thing they bloomed and smelled so beautiful in the summer! ‘Blue Chip’ will change the old Buddleia world forever with its dwarf, dense, compact size and it’s incredible blooming power. ‘Blue Chip’ is such a compact plant that when you see it in bloom with its contiues array of 2 to 3″ long deep purplish-blue flower cones from mid summer to frost on top of its tight form you will actually think it is a bedding plant!! Don’t be fooled… this plant is a woody ornamental that stretches the bounds of the woody world and will make you want to fill any sunny or partially shaded space with groups of these well behaved beauties so you can thrill to the color and scent all summer long. Don’t worry about pruning either! ‘Blue Chip’ will get rid of its own spent flower heads and rarely produces seed, another big plus!!
