Lo & Behold 'Pink Micro Chip' is the cutest butterfly bush (Buddleia) yet! It packs into a tiny version all the pluses of butterfly bushes – like fragrance, drought tolerance, easy care, long bloom – and butterflies, or course. The dwarf butterfly bush grows to only 2 feet high and wide, so you can tuck it into nearly any garden bed or container. Each summer, you and the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds will enjoy a mound of orchid-pink flower spikes.

Lo & Behold 'Pink Micro Chip' Butterfly Bush is not invasive, which is important in a few areas of the country that have banned older varieties of Buddleia. You don’t have to worry with this hybrid. Deer leave butterfly bushes alone, and they are easy shrubs to maintain. The butterfly bush is hardy to the cold of zone 5 and to the heat of zone 9. Few small shrubs have this many great qualities.

Lo & Behold Pink Micro Chip Butterfly Bush Care

Plant Lo & Behold 'Pink Micro Chip' Butterfly Bush in full sun (at least 8 hours a day) for best results. Place it in nearly any soil that drains well with the base of the plant slightly above the soil to help water drain away from the plant in heavier rain. Once the plant is established and growing, it needs less water than most shrubs, but you can water a little more in periods of high summer heat. Prune the plant by cutting just above where new leaves appear in spring. You don't have to deadhead buddleias.

Lo & Behold Pink Micro Chip Butterfly Bush Spacing

Use Lo & Behold 'Pink Micro Chip' Butterfly Bush as a dramatic container thriller or plant several as a butterfly magnet border or hedge. Space the plants about 2 feet between centers.

Interesting Facts - This plant is sometimes called "summer lilac" instead of a "butterfly bush."

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
