Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
Your Lo and Behold 'Blue Chip' Butterfly Bush is a dwarf, compact grower that really never needs pruning. Deadheading throughout the season to remove faded flowers is fine. Just make sure not to snip off new buds that have yet to form! This is a Buddleia that I can recommend for mass planting.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Feeding
I fertilize all Buddleia one time a year in the early spring when I see new growth beginning to emerge. I feed them with either a slow-release flower fertilizer or a natural or organic plant food.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Problems
Have yet to see any serious problems with insects or disease on Lo and Behold 'Blue Chip' Butterfly Bush. On rare occasions I've seen aphids visit the plants. If this happens you could spray with a liquid solution of Neem oil. Always follow instructions on product label for mixing instructions and application rates. Always plant buddleia in well-drained soils as they are prone to root rot if their feet stay too wet.
