Lo & Behold® 'Pink Micro Chip' Butterfly bush
Buddleja Lo & Behold® 'Pink Micro Chip'The ‘Pink Micro Chip’ Butterfly Bush (Buddleja davidii ‘Pink Micro Chip’) is a compact, dwarf flowering shrub that delivers a bounty of vibrant pink blooms throughout the growing season. Its petite flower spikes, highly fragrant and full of color, are magnets for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens. Growing only 1–2 feet tall and 1–2 feet wide, this miniature butterfly bush is perfect for small gardens, patio containers, or as an accent plant in mixed borders. Its tidy, compact habit makes it ideal for spaces where larger shrubs might overwhelm the area.
Despite its small size, ‘Pink Micro Chip’ is a robust and low-maintenance shrub. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, tolerates drought once established, and requires minimal care to maintain healthy, continuous blooms. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and repeated flowering throughout the season. Its combination of compact size, delicate fragrance, and bright pink blooms make it a standout choice for gardeners seeking beauty, pollinator appeal, and easy-care performance in a limited space.
