This new and exciting dwarf butterfly bush was developed by Dr. Dennis Werner, director or the JC Raulton Arboretum and a plant breeder in the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. 'Blue Chip' is the first release in the Lo and Behold™ series of dwarf Buddleia.

'Blue Chip' has a dense, compact growth habit, maturing around 3' x 3'. The silvery grey foliage is topped summer to fall with 4-6" inflorescences of lavender blue flowers. Another unique attribute of 'Blue Chip' butterfly bush is its very low seed production, making it unlikely to produce unwanted seedlings. This is a significant step in Buddleia breeding, as they are often considered invasive due to the vast quantities of seed produced.
