This series of compact dwarf Buddleja won’t seed about your garden, so no invasives to worry about. Perfect for patio pots, low hedges and borders, Buddleja ‘Pink Micro Chip’ is smothered in lilac blooms from early summer to the first frosts of autumn.
The second new release for 2014 this plant added pink to the range of colours in the Lo and Behold series. Orchid pink flowers spikes on a tiny plant with pin cushion habit make this ideal for the patio tub or small garden.
Over the past 20 years well over 150 new hybrids have come to the market, many raised in the USA.
More of these introductions will be planted in the collection this year. Currently this plant is available for sale in the plant centre but has not been assessed for reliability, hardness, habit and flowering.
The description is taken from the marketing agents’ promotion material and has not been verified by the collection holder.
