Buddleja Pink Micro chip

Common Name:
Butterfly Bush 'Pink Micro Chip'

Description:
Buddleja 'Pink Micro Chip' is a compact, deciduous shrub renowned for its profusion of fragrant, orchid-pink flower spikes that bloom continuously from early summer through autumn. Its dense, mounded habit and silvery-green foliage make it an excellent choice for borders, containers, and small gardens. In Melbourne's temperate climate, 'Pink Micro Chip' thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, exhibiting drought and heat tolerance once established. This non-invasive variety is sterile, preventing unwanted self-seeding. Minimal maintenance is required, with deadheading unnecessary, and pruning recommended in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. Its long blooming period and compact size make it a valuable addition to gardens seeking continuous colour and pollinator attraction.
