Blue Chip Jr. Butterfly Bush is a well-branching dwarf shrub with a dense spreading habit and dark green leaves with a silver hue. Terminal spikes of fragrant rich lavender-blue clusters that bloom continuously from summer attract pollinators and butterflies. Removing spent flowers can encourage continued blooms until frost. Best performance in sunny well-drained areas. Asexual Propagation is prohibited.
