Notes

'Lo & Behold Blue Chip Jr.' wand butterflybush (Buddleja 'Lo & Behold Blue Chip Jr.') is a shrub for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide, so it fits small spaces. Blue, fragrant blooms draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.

Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Amsonia, and Clary sage.
