Description

Out of all the dwarf butterfly bushes we’ve grown over the years in our gardens, the original Lo & Behold Blue Chip has stood out as our favorite. Now we are happy to introduce an even smaller version called ‘Blue Chip Junior’. This one grows to only 18 to 24 inches tall and wide and is equally as floriferous as its larger cousin. Its smaller stature makes it an ideal selection for even smaller garden spaces and small to medium size pots and other patio containers. 

Aside from its smaller size, there are other subtle differences between Blue Chip Junior and the original Blue Chip. Junior is said to be less brittle, though we haven’t had any problems at all with brittleness on either, and the leaves of Junior are a bit more silver. The flower spikes on Junior are longer (6 to 8″) and are more purple than blue. Too, it seems to flower more continuously throughout the season rather than in cycles. The spent flowers of Junior don’t need deadheading, though you can deadhead if you want. As with all butterfly bushes, Blue Chip Junior attracts and feeds both butterflies and hummingbirds, is exceptionally drought tolerant when established, and deer won’t touch it!
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a spreading mound 18 to 24 inches tall and wide, Blue Chip Junior is perhaps the best butterfly bush ever for use as a groundcover or container specimen. We suggest planting in a pot at least 12 inches in diameter. It serves well as an accent in larger, mixed container gardens. In larger landscape spaces it is ideal for use as a low border along paths and walkways, in groupings or massed as a groundcover in landscape borders and on sunny slopes and embankments It also serves nicely as an underplanting for smaller trees, such as Crape Myrtle, that allow sunlight to shine beneath their canopies. A fine addition to butterfly and hummingbird gardens, Xeriscape gardens (low water needs), and blue or purple theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing:  18 to 24 inches apart for mass plantings or solid borders;  4 feet or more apart for space between plants.

Growing Preferences
The Blue Chip Junior Butterfly Bush is exceptionally easy to grow. It thrives in full to mostly sun and isn’t too picky about soil type, provided the soil is well-drained. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil when young however is quite drought tolerant when established. At least 6 hours of direct sun per day is suggested for best flowering. As with so many other perennial plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. No deadheading is required though you can remove spent flowers if you want.
